The right-hand side (RHS) of Equation 3.94 is estimated based on the
temperature of the reactants. The mixture product temperature is then
estimated using an iterative process until the total enthalpy of the prod-
ucts given by the left-hand side (LHS) of Equation 3.94 matches with the
total enthalpy of the reactants given by the RHS. It can be noted here that
adiabatic ame temperature represents the maximum possible tempera-
ture of the product of combustion. In reality, there will be positive heat
loss from the combustion chamber to outside across the chamber wall
geometry and will result in a lower temperature of the product ...
