Adiabatic Flame Temperature in Steady Combustion
Liquid octane (C8H18) enters the combustion chamber of a gas turbine steadily at 1 atm and 25°C, and it is burned with air that enters the combustion chamber at the same state, as shown in Fig. 15–27. Determine the adiabatic flame temperature for (a) complete combustion with 100 percent theoretical air, (b) complete combustion with 400 percent theoretical air, and (c) incomplete combustion (some CO in the products) with 90 percent theoretical air.
