MET 480 Project 1

Due in 3 weeks (Tuesday, October 6, 2015)


For low-temperature combustion (T < 1000K) where reactant C/O ratio is less than 1

Part I
Write a matlab script or use excel to do the following:
User inputs
1. any value of a, b, c, d for a generic hydrocarbon
2. any equivalence ratio
3. any temperature between 400K and 1000K
Program outputs
1. as (stoichiometric molar air-fuel ratio)

CO2
H 2O
N2
2. moles of each of the following species in the products:
O2
CO
H2

Part II
Using your program or excel spreadsheet, and octane fuel, C8H18, plot the moles of each species in the
products for a temperature of 700K and 1000K and 0.7 < < 1.3 in increments of 0.1
You will have two graphs. One at 700K and one at 1000K

Your report should include the following sections:


1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Coversheet
Introduction/theory discussion
Tabulated results from part II
