Extract

A Fast and efficient method has been developed to obtain the equilibrium composition of a flame at a given temperature, pressure and mixture strength. The Newton-Raphson iteration technique enables one to solve a set of simultaneous non-linear equations and in the present problem these are the equations relating the equilibrium partial pressures and equilibrium constants for the particular reaction and the conservation of atomic species in reactants and products. A trial solution is used to check the energy balance for the flame at the assumed temperature. The temperature is then suitably altered and the whole procedure is repeated till a reasonable agreement is obtained.
