S298 (O2 ) = 205.15, S298 (Si) = 18.81, S298 (Mg) = 32.67, f G298 (MgO) = 569300,
f G298 (SiO2 ) = 856300
05. Calculate the adiabatic flame temperature attained when methane, at 298 K,
is ignited with air in the molar ratio air/methane = 9.524. Assume that carbon
dioxide and water are the only products of combustion and air is 21 vol.%
oxygen and 79 vol.% nitrogen at p = 1 bar.
f H298 (H2 O(g)) = 241800, cp (CH4 (g)) = +33.97 + 15.57 103 T , cp (CO2 (g)) =
+44.14 + 9.04 103 T , cp (H2 O(g)) = +30 + 10.71 103 T , cp (N2 (g)) = +27.87 +
4.27 103 T , cp (O2 (g)) = +29.96 + 4.18 103 T
