13.2 Combustion Process
Equivalence ratio (Ф):
Theoretical (stoichiometric) air–fuel ratio (AFs)
divided by an actual air-fuel ratio (AF)

13.2 Combustion Process
Class example:
60g/s of propylbenzene (C9H12) with
molar mass of 120 kg/kmol is combusted
with an AF-ratio (by mass) of 18.41.
a) Determine the mass flow rate of air
b) Determine the mole fractions of each
of the products.
