15.2.2 PROCESSES OCCURRING IN COMBUSTION
The thermodynamics of combustion generally relate to the gas in isolation from its surroundings.
However, the surroundings, and the interaction of the gas with the walls of a container, etc. can have a
major effect on the combustion process. The mechanisms by which the combusting gas interacts with
its container are
1. transport of gaseous reactant to the surface diffusion;
2. adsorption of gas molecules on surface;
3. reaction of adsorbed molecules with the surface;
4. desorption of gas molecules from the surface;
5. transport of products from the surface back into the gas stream diffusion.
These effects
