CHEMISTRY OF COMBUSTION
11
The thermodynamics of combustion were considered in Chapter 10, and it was stated that adiabatic
combustion could be achieved. The concept of adiabatic combustion runs counter to the experience of
many engineers, who tend to relate combustion to heat addition or heat release processes. Th is
approach is encouraged in mechanical engineering by the application of the air standard cycle to
engines to enable them to be treated as heat engines. In reality combustion is not a process of energy
transfer but one of energy transformation. The energy released by combustion in a spark ignition
(petrol) engine is all contained in the ...
