Abstract
SYNOPSIS Two alternative methods are described for the calculation of gas composition. These are:- 1. Complete chemical equilibrium; 2. A combination of chemical rate equations for some slower reactions with partial equilibrium for faster reactions. Some calculated results are given in the form of comparisons between the two methods, showing the changes in gas composition caused by a temperature rise and fall with a constant rate of change of temperature. Equations are also given for the thermodynamic properties of individual species which may be used together with the appropriate gas composition to obtain properties of the gas mixture.Keywords
