The combustion of a stoichiometric mixture of fuel and oxidizer (e.g. two moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen) in a steel container at 25 °C (77 °F) is initiated by an ignition device and the reactions allowed to complete. When hydrogen and oxygen react during combustion, water vapor is produced.
The reciprocating motion of a non-offset piston connected to a rotating crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines) can be expressed by equations of motion. This article shows how these equations of motion can be derived using calculus as functions of angle (angle domain) and of time (time domain).

If we make the assumption that combustion goes to completion (i.e. forming only CO 2 and H 2 O), we can calculate the adiabatic flame temperature by hand either at stoichiometric conditions or lean of stoichiometry (excess air). This is because there are enough variables and molar equations to balance the left and right hand sides,
In Combustion, G equation is a scalar (,) field equation which describes the instantaneous flame position, introduced by Forman A. Williams in 1985 [1] [2] in the study of premixed turbulent combustion. The equation is derived based on the Level-set method. The equation was first studied by George H. Markstein, in a restrictive form for the ...
These relationships are then used to solve the transport equations for species mass fraction and mixture composition. [2] The model can very well be implemented for situations where concentration of minor species in the combustion is to be computed like quantifying the generation of pollutants. [1]
The above equation can be manipulated to solve for M as a function of H. However, due to the form of the T/T* equation, a complicated multi-root relation is formed for M = M(T/T*). Instead, M can be chosen as an independent variable where ΔS and H can be matched up in a chart as shown in Figure 1.
The table below essentially simplifies the ideal gas equation for a particular process, making the equation easier to solve using numerical methods. A thermodynamic process is defined as a system that moves from state 1 to state 2, where the state number is denoted by a subscript.
