Up to now, this book has concentrated on combustion problems which can be solved by methods based
on equilibrium but which do not require an explicit statement of the fact, e.g. complete combustion of a
hydrocarbon fuel in air can be analysed by assuming that the products consist o nly of H
2
O and CO
2
.
These methods are not completely correct and a more rigorous analysis is necessary to obtain greater
accuracy.
Consider the combustion of carbon monoxide (CO) with oxygen (O
2
); up till now the reaction has
been described by the equation

/CO

(12.1)
It is implied in this equation that carbon monoxide combines ...
