1. Calculate the adiabatic flame temperature for the following
mixtures initially at 298 K: stoichiometric butane-air mixture,
stoichiometric butane-oxygen mixture, 2.0% (by volume) of butane in
air. Use enthalpies of formation and heat capacities from the NIST
Chemistry WebBook, which can be found at
http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/.
2) Repeat the adiabatic flame temperature calculation without the
restriction on the possible products using an online version of the
CEA calculator developed by NASA and located at
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/CEAWeb/ceaHome.htm. Compare the results
of the two calculations and explain possible differences. Print and
attach your simulation results please.
