Combustion of Alkanols Aim: To determine which alkanols has higher heat combustion Hypothesis: The alkanols with the longer carbon chain will a higher heat combustion Background Information: Heat combustion can be calculated by using various formulas. By using ΔH= -mcΔT‚ we can gather the amount of heat released. Since the experiment is exothermic‚ ΔH will have a negative value. By dividing the total amount by 1000‚ the units changes into KJ. Divide the total KJ of heat by the amount of fuel

The Combustion of Diamond and Methane Methane is a hydrocarbon compound that is found in a gaseous state at room temperature. It has the chemical formula CH4‚ it is an odourless‚ colourless gas that is a large percentage of ‘natural gas’ and is a large contributor to global warming as it is a greenhouse gas and is flammable so is used as a fuel. Methane is a product of the covalent bonding of carbon and hydrogen. Products of the combustion of methane include carbon dioxide‚ water‚ soot and carbon

experiment is to determine which fuel‚ out of Pentane‚ Propane-1-ol and Propane-2-ol would be the most appropriate to take on a camping trip to a national park where wood cannot be used to burn. Factors that need to be considered are: • Heat of combustion (flash point) • Heat of vaporisation (boiling point) • How long the fuel will last • Does the fuel heat up the water relatively quickly • Does the fuel combust completely Hypothesis: If the tests are all successful‚ Pentane should produce a larger

Lean burn refers to the use of lean mixtures in an internal combustion engine. The air-fuel ratios can be as high as 65:1‚ so the mixture has considerably less fuel in comparison to the stoichiometric combustion ratio (14.7:1 for petrol for example).

(Internal Combustion Engine) Name: Chia Wei Qian ID: 1101C12664 Period 4 Date: 14 May 2012 Lecturer: Mr. Jaroslaw Cebrowski Introduction Car engine is amazing machine that convert the heat energy to mechanical energy to let the car move. As we know the modern car engine is works in the internal combustion so it is call internal combustion engines. But for the older technology‚ they used External Combustion Engines. It is far lower efficiency than internal combustion engines.

COMBUSTION Name : Natashane McCook Assignment #1 Course : Power Plant Engineering Lecture : Mr: E Thorpe Title : Combustion The term complete combustion generally is used in connection with the burning of hydrocarbons. Combustion is the process of burning that occurs when fuel‚ oxygen‚ and heat are simultaneously present. The result of complete combustion is the release of energy‚ carbon dioxide‚ and water vapor. If the hydrocarbon contains sulfur‚ sulfur dioxide also will be present. On the
