1. A premixed stoichiometric methane-air flame has a laminar flame speed of 0.33 m/s and a temperature of 2200 K. The reactants are initially at 300 K and 1 atm. Find the velocity of the combustion products relative to the flame front and the pressure change across the flame. Assume that the reaction goes to completion and there is no dissociation.

2. Repeat Problem 1 for a premixed stoichiometric methanol-air flame. The flame speed is 0.48 m/s and the flame temperature is 2000 K.

3. For methane, the maximum laminar flame speed in pure oxygen is 11 m/s, whereas in air the maximum flame speed is 0.45 m/s. Explain what causes this increase in the flame speed.

Need help please.

Methane is burning with minimum amount of air to form the stable products. The premixed methane-air mixture is filled in a leak-proof spherical vessel at an initial pressure of 1 bar and 298 K. The vessel is well insulated to avoid thermal energy interaction with the surroundings.The combustible mixture is ignited at the centre of the vessel using an electrical spark. The energy added to the mixture for ignition is negligible. During the combustion process, the pressure of the combustion...

a) Kinetic theory. The speed of sound in the air is 330 m/s under standard conditions of temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 atm). Since the size of a molecule is much smaller than the average distance between the molecules, this number provides an estimate of the order of magnitude of the molecular media velocity. Consider a cubic meter of air and concentrate it on a N2 molecule that travels in the x direction at 330 m / s....
