Analysis of the chemical equilibrium of combustion at constant volume
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Determining the composition of a mixture of combustion gases at a given temperature is based on chemical equilibrium, when the equilibrium constants are calculated on the assumption of constant pressure and temperature. In this paper, an analysis of changes occurring when combustion takes place at constant volume is presented, deriving a specific formula of the equilibrium constant. The simple reaction of carbon combustion in pure oxygen in both cases (constant pressure and constant volume) is next considered as example of application, observing the changes occurring in the composition of the combustion gases depending on temperature.
