Example 1
A rocket engine burns a stoichiometric
mixture of fuel (liquid hydrogen) in oxidant
(liquid oxygen). The combustion chamber is
cylindrical, 75 cm long and 60 cm in
diameter, and the combustion process
produces 108 kg/s of exhaust gases. If
combustion is complete, find the rate of
reaction of hydrogen ad of oxygen.

Let us evaluate terms. The reactor volume and
the volume in which reaction takes place are
identical. Thus,
