Consider the combustion of a mixture of an alcohol, CnHmOx, and a hydrocarbon fuel, CwHz, with excess theoretical air and incomplete combustion according to the chemical reaction as follows:
y1CnHmOx + y2CwHz + (1 + B)Ath(O2 + 3.76 N2)
 D CO2 + E CO + F H2O + G O2 + J N2
where y1 and y2 are the mole fractions of the fuel mixture, Ath is the theoretical O2 required for this fuel, and B is the excess amount of air in decimal form. If a is the fraction of carbon in the fuel converted to carbon dioxide and b is the remaining fraction converted to carbon monoxide, determine the coefficients Ath, D, E, F, G, and J for a fixed B amount of excess air. Write the coefficients D, E, F, G, and J as functions of y1, y2, n, m, x, w, z, a, b, B, and Ath in the simplest correct forms.
