Final Project
Deadline: 13/09/2013

Study the NO formation for the stoichiometric combustion of propane in standard dry air in 1)
a Constant-Volume, Fixed-Mass Reactor (CVFMR). and 2) a Well-Stirred Reactor (WSR). Use the
global mechanism for propane presented in chapter 5 (Table 5.1) and the Zel`dovich mechanism for
NO (page 168, only Eqs. N.1 and N.2). Employ the steady state assumption for the N concentration
and assume partial equilibrium for the reaction O2=O+O (and find the O concentration).
For the WSR consider the effect of the residence time on the NO production (from
equilibrium to blow-off limit). Compare your results with the equilibrium NO concentration calculated
by an equilibrium software. The reactor is assumes adiabatic. For the CVFMR study the time evolution
of NO concentration in an adiabatic reactor and compare the results with equilibrium calculations. Use
the conditions described below.
Present your work as an article (in English). Present all necessary equations and assumptions.
Present the results in graphical form. Comment your results physically.
