Chemical Reactions

• We need to consider the chemical internal energy (which is the energy associated with the destruction and formation of chemical bonds between the atoms) when dealing with reacting systems.

• Any material that can be burned to release energy is called a fuel, and a chemical reaction during which a fuel is oxidized and a large quantity of energy is released is called combustion.

Each kmol of O2 in Air is Accompanied by 3.76 kmol of N2

• 1 kmol 02 + 3.76 kmol N2 = 4.76 kmol air

The oxidizer most often used in combustion processes is air. The dry air can be approximated as 21 % oxygen and 79% nitrogen (0.9% argon, and small amount of CO, He, Neon, and H2) by mole numbers. Therefore,

Steady-Flow Combustion ProcessSteady-Flow Combustion Process

Reactionchamber

In a steady-flow combustion process, the components that exist before the reaction are called reactants and the components that exist after the reaction are called products. Chemical equations are balanced on the basis of the conservation of mass principle, which states that the total mass of each element is conserved during a chemical reaction.

For example, C + O2 CO2 , where C and O2 are the reactants, and CO2 is the product.

Completion of the Combustion ProcessCompletion of the Combustion Process

Combustionchamber

• The combustion process is complete if all the combustible components in the fuel are burned to completion. That is, a combustion process is complete if all the carbon in the fuel burns to CO2, all the hydrogen burns to H2O , and all the sulfur (if any) burns to SO2.

• Insufficient oxygen causes incomplete combustion, unburned fuel, C, H2, CO, or OH would be in the products.

• At ordinary combustion temperatures, nitrogen behaves as an inert gas and does not react with other chemical elements.

Theoretical and Actual Combustion Theoretical and Actual Combustion

• The complete combustion process with no free oxygen in the products is called stoichiometric, or theoretical combustion. For example, the theoretical combustion of methane is

• The amount of air in excess of the stoichiometric amount is called excess air, or percent excess air.

• Amounts of air less than the stoichiometric amount are called deficiency of air, or percent deficiency of air.

Stoichiometric AirStoichiometric Air

The minimum amount of air needed for the complete combustion of a fuel is called the stoichiometric or theoretical air. The theoretical air is also referred to as the chemically correct amount of air or 100 percent theoretical air. The ideal combustion process during which a fuel is burned completely with theoretical air is called the stoichiometric or theoretical combustion of that fuel.

Excess AirExcess Air

The air in excess of the stoichiometric amount is called the excess air. The amount of excess air is usually expressed in terms of the stoichiometric air as percent excess air or percent theoretical air.

Forms of EnergyForms of Energy

The microscopic form of energy of a substance consists of sensible, latent, chemical, and nuclear energies.

Sensible and latent energies are associated with a change of state (temperature for sensible and phase for latent), chemical energy associates with the molecular structure, and nuclear energy associates with the atomic structure.

Page 15: 1 ISAT 413 - Module IV: Combustion and Power Generation Topic 2:Chemical Reactions and The First & Second Laws of Thermodynamics  Fuels and Combustion

15

Chemical Bonds in the Combustion ProcessChemical Bonds in the Combustion Process

When the existing chemical bonds are destroyed and new ones are formed during a combustion process, usually a large amount of sensible energy is released.

The chosen reference state is 25oC and 1 atm, which is known as the standard reference state. Property values at the standard reference state are indicated by a superscript o such as (ho and uo). For N2 at 500 K,

16

Enthalpy of Combustion Enthalpy of CombustionThe difference between the enthalpy of the products at a specified state and the enthalpy of the reactants at the same state for a complete reaction is called the enthalpy of reaction hR. For combustion processes, the enthalpy of reaction is usually referred to as the enthalpy of combustion hc, which represents the amount of heat released during a steady-flow combustion process when 1 kmol (or 1 kg) of fuel is burned completely at a specified temperature and pressure. For example,

kmol/kJ,HHh reactprodC 520393

-393,520 kJ/kmol is the enthalpy of combustion for C at the standard reference state. The enthalpy of combustion of a particular fuel will be different at different temperatures and pressures.

17

Enthalpy of FormationEnthalpy of Formation

The enthalpy of a substance at a specified state due to its chemical composition is called the enthalpy of formation hf. The enthalpy of formation of all stable elements is assigned a value of zero at the standard reference state of 25oC and 1 atm. For example, the enthalpy of formation of CO2 at the standard reference state is

kmol/kJ,h oCO,f 520393

2

The negative sign is due to the fact that the enthalpy of 1 kmol of CO2 at 25oC and 1 atm is 393,520 kJ less than the enthalpy of 1 kmol of C and 1 kmol of O2 at the same state. In other words, 393,520 kJ of chemical energy released (leaving the system as heat) when C and O2 combine to form 1 kmol of CO2.

Heating ValuesHeating Values

The heating value of a fuel is defined as the amount of heat released when a fuel is burned completely in a steady-flow process and the products are returned to the state of the reactants. The heating value of a fuel is equal to the absolute value of the enthalpy of combustion of the fuel. Heating value is called the higher heating value (HHV) when the H2O in the products is in the liquid form, and it is called the lower heating value (LHV) when the H2O in the products is in the vapor form. The two heating values are related by

The third law of thermodynamics The third law of thermodynamics

• The entropy relations for combustion processes involve the entropies of the components, not entropy changes, which was the case for non-reacting system. The search for a common base for the entropy of all substances led to the establishment of the third law of thermodynamics.

• The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is zero. The third law provides a common base for the entropy of all substances, and the entropy values relative to this base are called the absolute entropy, so, the values are listed in Tables A-18 through A-25.

• The exergy destruction or irreversibility and the reversible work associated with a chemical reaction are determined from

The reversible represents the maximum work that can be done during a process. In absence of any changes in kinetic and potential energies, the reversible work relation for a steady-flow combustion process is

Operation of a Hydrogen - Oxygen Fuel CellOperation of a Hydrogen - Oxygen Fuel Cell

The second law of thermodynamics suggests that there should be a better way of converting the chemical energy to work. The energy conversion devices that work on controlling the irreversibility are called fuel cells.

• The operation of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is illustrated in the Figure on the previous slide.

• Hydrogen is ionized at the surface of the anode, and hydrogen ions flow through the electrolyte to the cathode. There is a potential difference between the anode and cathode, and free electrons flow from the anode to the cathode through an external circuit (such as a generator). Hydrogen ions combine with oxygen and the free electrons at the surface of the cathode, forming water.

• In steady operation, hydrogen and oxygen continuously enter the fuel cell as reactants, and water leaves as the product.

• Fuel cells are not heat engines, and thus their efficiencies are not limited by the Carnot efficiency.

Example IV-2.7 (adiabatic)Example IV-2.7 (adiabatic)

Methane (CH4) gas enters a steady-flow adiabatic combustion chamber at 25oC and 1 atm. It is burned with 50% excess air that also enters at 25oC and 1 atm. Assuming complete combustion, determine (a) the temperature of the products, (b) the entropy generation, and c) the reversible work and exergy destruction. Assume that To = 298 K and the products leave the combustion chamber at 1 atm pressure.

Methane (CH4) gas enters a steady-flow combustion chamber at 25oC and 1 atm. It is burned with 50% excess air, which also enters at 25oC and 1 atm. After combustion, the products are allowed to cool to 25oC. Assuming complete combustion, determine (a) the heat transfer per kmol of CH4, (b) the entropy generation, and c) the reversible work and exergy destruction. Assume that To = 298 K and the products leave the combustion chamber at 1 atm pressure.
