Summary of the subject: Fuel, its value fuels, types of initial mass fuel standard fuel, given its characteristics and calorific value. Burning fuel, general information about burning Hesa law, determine the heats of combustion of some fuel components. Material balance of combustion processes, combustion in oxygen consumption, calculation of air. The calculation of combustion products, the theoretical and real at "volumes of combustion products. Excess air ratio calculation coefficient of excess air. Enthalpy of combustion products. The equation of heat balance, heat consumption during combustion. Chemical equilibrium and the law of mass action, chemical reversibility, the equilibrium constant for the different systems. Chemical reactions. The principle of Le Chatelier. Dissociation products of combustion. Effect of temperature on the dissociation of combustion. The rate of chemical reactions, burning rate dependence on pressure and temperature, the Arrhenius law. Changing the speed of reaction time, the dependence of the reaction rate of the mixture. Chain reactions, branched chain reactions. Kinetic equations burning chain, the chain flash. Corrosion of metals, gas corrosion, impact of certain gases in corrosion.
