The mass balance relation of hydrocarbon fuel combustion accompanying carbon formation is considered in the present paper.X and z denote the mole fraction of carbon dioxide and carbon presented respectively.
It is assumed that the hydrogen in the fuel is completely converted into water.
In order to represent the performance of combustion, the solid figure of isosceles prisms is employed.
The patterns of stoichiometric and partial theoretical air planes have similar trends to those in the foregoing report.
In general, concentration surfaces of oxygen and nitrogen shift towards the right as excess air ratio increases.
When hydrogen-carbon ratio is more than 2, the nitrogen surface of dry products removes to the left as excess air increases.
On the specified plane of nitrogen, it should be noted that, in these states, the group of particular lines which is independent of excess air forms identical plane.
It will be found that, with the increase of feed air, carbon dioxide or monoxide surface gradually approaches towards the x-z plane.
The maximum difference among the constituents concentration for dry and wet products, has a trend to obtain the same value in foregoing report, but in this paper this trend is confirmed in the very wide range of fuels.
The series of alignment charts have been constructed by giving the fuel composition.
This is a weak point in regard to the treatment.
