- Octane gas (C8H18) and atmospheric air are supplied to a combustion chamber at 25°C at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio. The combustion takes place adiabatically under steady-flow condition. The change in velocity and the work transfer can be assumed negligible. The Enthalpy of Combustion of octane gas at 25°C is – 5,116,180 kJ/kmol (when H2O in the combustion products is in vapor phase).
