Propane combustion constants

On complete combustion at constant pressure, a 1.00-L sample of a gaseous mixture at 0°C and 1.00 atm (STP) evolves 75.65 kj of heat If foe gas is a mixture of ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3Hg), what is foe mole fraction of ethane in foe mixture ... 

Heat Release Rate From Fuel Gas. The fuel gas used in these tests was a mixture of natural gas supplied by the local gas company. This gas mixture contains approximately 90 percent methane and small fractions of ethane, propane, butane, C02, and nitrogen, as analyzed by Brenden and Chamberlain (6). Although composition of the gas changes with time, the changes were small in our case. A statistical sample of gross heat of combustion of fuel gas over several months showed a coefficient of variation of 0.7 percent. Also, the gross heat of combustion of natural gas reported by the gas company on the day of the test did not vary significantly from test to test. Thus, we assumed that the net heat of combustion was constant. 

Figures 12-14 show the results after 2 hours of leakage. The figures show surfaces of constant gas concentration that represents the lean limit of combustion. It can be seen that the volume of combustible gas created by the hydrogen-fueled vehicle is much smaller than the volume created by the LPG-fueled vehicle. This was true regardless of which of the two propane flow rates was assumed.

When a flammable material is burned, there will be an increase in either the volume of the gas produced (provided the pressure is constant) or the pressure in the container (provided the volume is constant). Calculate the volume of gas formed during the adiabatic combustion of 100 lb moles of gaseous propane at a constant pressure of 1 atm. Assume that the 200 percent theoretical air and the propane involved in the combustion are at 25°C and that the combustion goes to completion. 

Tsang has prepared a series of publications on data required for modelling the combustion of methane [45], methanol [53], propane [54], isobutane [55] and propene [56]. The treatment is less detailed than in the case of the CEC publications there is less evaluation of the primary data, often previous evaluations are accepted, and there is no graphical presentation of results. However, data on more than 500 reactions are considered and, where there are no experimental data, estimates of the rate constants are given. Unimolecular reactions are also treated slightly differently from the CEC evaluations as described in Section 3.3.

Problem The standard heat of hydrogenation of gaseous propylene to propane is — 29.6 kcal., and the heat of combustion of propane is — 530.6 kcal. at 25 C. (Unless otherwise stated, constant pressure is to be understood.) Utilizing the... 

For obtaining reproducible results it is necessary to support constant speed of driving of a film (mostly 30-80 m/min) and stationary ratio of mixture air - combustible. Usually recommend to use natural gas or propane. Air takes in major surplus for creation of the oxidizing environment (25 1-32 1). At action of a flame and hot gases on a surface of polymer in surface layer a chain oxidizing proceed, what in a first approximation can be presented by the schema [55] ...

For industrial heating purposes combustible gases such as propane C3H8, butane C4H10 or a mixture of these gases are often used. In the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics the following van der Waals constants are given for propane and butane ...
