molecular weights are not integers. To be able to perform combustion calculations it is necessary to
know the atomic or molecu lar weights of commonly encountered elements: these can be combined to
give other compounds. Table 9.1 gives the data for individual elements or compounds in integral
numbers (except air which is a mixture of gases): in reality only carbon-12 (used as the basis for
atomic/molecular weights) has an integral value, but most values are very close to integral ones and
will be quoted as such.
9.1.1 AIR
As stated previously, most combustion takes place between a hydrocarbon fuel and air. Air is a
mixture of gases, the most abundant ...
