Combustion Calculations

Fundamentals of Combustion and its Modeling 

• Refer to the following useful articles on the basics of combustion and its CFD modeling
  • Basic combustion is discussed in premixed and non-premixed flames
  • CFD Modeling of Turbulent combustion

Calculation of Mass flow rate of air and fuel

• In the following table, the mass flow rate of actual air can be calculated based on given fuel composition and excess air conditions
• Key input and out for combustion calculate
  • Enter Inlet temperature (F), excess air (%), fuel composition of natural gas ( % mole fraction) and the fuel firing rate (10∧6 Btu/hr) of the burner
  • The output is given for the mass flow rate of air and air in pounds per hour (lb/hour), and the enthalpy of flue gases
