Building on the previous chapter, this chapter examines gas phase chemical equilibrium, and the equilibrium constant. This chapter takes a rigorous, yet very clear, ‘first principles’ approach, expressing the total Gibbs free energy of a reaction mixture at any time as the sum of the instantaneous Gibbs free energies of each component, as expressed in terms of the extent-of-reaction. The equilibrium reaction mixture is then defined as the point at which the total system Gibbs free energy is a minimum, from which concepts such as the equilibrium constant emerge. The chapter also explores the temperature dependence of equilibrium, this being one example of Le Chatelier’s principle. Finally, the chapter links thermodynamics to chemical kinetics by showing how the equilibrium constant is the ratio of the forward and backward rate constants. We also introduce the Arrhenius equation, closing with a discussion of the overall effect of temperature on chemical equilibrium.

This paper describes an application of the partial chemical equilibrium method considered chemical kinetics in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this method, fuels and oxidants are mixed at a turbulent rate so that a mixture gas of fuel and oxygen is generated. Next, the mixture gas of fuel and oxygen is burnt by molecular diffusion thereby resulting in combustion gases. The turbulent mixture rate is estimated by the eddy dissipation model and the burning velocity is evaluated by the Arrhenius equation. Finally, the combustion products are calculated by the chemical equilibrium method by using the combustion gases. One of the advantages of this method is its ability to calculate the combustion products without using chemical equations. The chemical equilibrium method requires only thermo-chemical functions (specific heat, standard enthalpy, etc). This method can be applied to incinerators or some complex combustion instruments and it can predict the intermediate chemical species of dioxins, etc.


The application of thermal methods to the study of steady-state combustion is described. Such methods provide a route to information on heat transfer and chemical kinetics which forms a basis for the implementation of numerical models. The experimental results from thermal analysis and temperature profile analysis have been examined within the context of a simple pseudo one-dimensional model of propagation offering some confirmation of the validity of the approach.

SHRNUTÍ Tato prace prezentuje novy přistup k numericke simulaci chemicke přeměny složek v průběhu hořeni. V připadech abnormalně rychlych chemickych reakci je kineticke schema kombinovano se schematem rovnovažnym. Timto způsobem jsou řešeny važne vypočetni problemy jako je strnulost soustavy rovnic na straně jedne či numericka nestabilita na straně druhe. Navržena procedura je ověřena na připadu hořeni vodiku popsaneho reakčnim mechanismem obsahujicim 23 paralelně probihajicich obecně vratnych reakci. Funkčni sub-model chemicke transformace bude implementovan do vice-zonoveho modelu spalovani pro řešeni chemickych procesů ve frontě plamene a post-plamennych oblastech.

We show that the sand pile model is able to simulate, by specific configurations, logic gates and registers and, therefore any computer program. Further, we give its interpretation in terms of a set of several one-dimensional interacting avalanches.
