How is combustion temperature calculated?
- Rigorous calculation: adiabatic flame temperature energy equation
At reference temperature , with LHV (kJ/kg fuel), energy conservation:
If feeds are near , it can be written in temperature-rise form:
At high temperature, dissociation and temperature dependence of must be considered.
- Engineering approximation: estimate using average constant-pressure specific heat
Where is the average value from to . This is used for quick estimation and trend judgment.
- Direct rewrite for influencing terms (common refinements)
- With air preheat:
- With : more and excess in products increases , so decreases.
