Advanced Fuel and Combustion

Question 2: a) Solve the class sample with Cantera code and compare the answers. Find the adiabatic flame temperature of methane stoichiometric combustion via initial condition of 298 K and 1 atm. b) Plot adiabatic flame temperature of methane versus equivalence ratio in range of 0.6 to 1.4. Guide: ifo 51: CH, + 2(0, +3.76N2) + CO2 + 2H,0 +(2-20)02 + 7.52N, If $ > 1: CH, +202 + 3.76N,) - CO2 + 2H20 + (0-1)CH, +7.52N, equilibrate(gas, 'HP'); Tad=temperature(gas); c) In Cantera module, there is a useful command named "equilibrate" which can simply determine adiabatic flame temperature precisely. To consider the constrains in our problem, pressure and enthalpy of reactants and products should be equal. In this case the code can be written as: equilibrate(gas,'HP"); Tad=temperature(gas); Using this path, find the adiabatic flame temperature of section b and plot these two results together and discuss about the difference
