Fuel economy is measured usiag a carbon balance method calculation. The carbon content of the exhaust is calculated by adding up the carbon monoxide (qv), carbon dioxide (qv), and unbumed hydrocarbons (qv) concentrations. Then usiag the percent carbon ia the fuel, a volumetric fuel economy is calculated. If the heating value of the fuel is known, an energy specific fuel economy ia units such as km/MJ can be calculated as well. 

Computer Models, The actual residence time for waste destmction can be quite different from the superficial value calculated by dividing the chamber volume by the volumetric flow rate. The large activation energies for chemical reaction, and the sensitivity of reaction rates to oxidant concentration, mean that the presence of cold spots or oxidant deficient zones render such subvolumes ineffective. Poor flow patterns, ie, dead zones and bypassing, can also contribute to loss of effective volume. The tools of computational fluid dynamics (qv) are useful in assessing the extent to which the actual profiles of velocity, temperature, and oxidant concentration deviate from the ideal (40). 

Volumetric heat generation increases with temperature as a single or multiple S-shaped curves, whereas surface heat removal increases linearly. The shapes of these heat-generation curves and the slopes of the heat-removal lines depend on reaction kinetics, activation energies, reactant concentrations, flow rates, and the initial temperatures of reactants and coolants (70). The intersections of the heat-generation curves and heat-removal lines represent possible steady-state operations called stationary states (Fig. 15). Multiple stationary states are possible. Control is introduced to estabHsh the desired steady-state operation, produce products at targeted rates, and provide safe start-up and shutdown. Control methods can affect overall performance by their way of adjusting temperature and concentration variations and upsets, and by the closeness to which critical variables are operated near their limits.

In (8.35) Y is the flow stress in simple tension (and may itself be a function of the temperature and strain rate) and is the critical volumetric strain at void coalescence (calculated within the model to equal 0.15 independent of material).

The governing flow equation describing flow through as porous medium is known as Darcy s law, which is a relationship between the volumetric flow rate of a fluid flowing linearly through a porous medium and the energy loss of the fluid in motion.

Guirao and Bach (1979) used the flux-corrected transport method (a finite-difference method) to calculate blast from fuel-air explosions (see also Chapter 4). Three of their calculations were of a volumetric explosion, that is, an explosion in which the unbumed fuel-air mixture is instantaneously transformed into combustion gases. By this route, they obtained spheres whose pressure ratios (identical with temperature ratios) were 8.3 to 17.2, and whose ratios of specific heats were 1.136 to 1.26. Their calculations of shock overpressure compare well with those of Baker et al. (1975). In addition, they calculated the work done by the expanding contact surface between combustion products and their surroundings. They found that only 27% to 37% of the combustion energy was translated into work.

Apart from applications in sensors [21, 22], divalent-ion conductors, e.g., for Mg2+ ions, are of great interest for thin film batteries which may be incorporated into microelectronics as memory backups and into other applications. For these batteries high volumetric specific energy densities rather than high current densities are required, and thin films offer in addition a major decrease in the total ionic resistance.
