Thermodynamic combustion analysis of methane-hydrogen and methane-propane-butane mixture in a water heating installation

Abstract

In this research considers the combustion of methane mixtures with hydrogen or propane-butane fuel as applied to water heating installation. The determination of conditions under which the considered mixtures have a stoichiometric composition, and the heat release rate is equal to the value that corresponds to the combustion of only methane. It is shown that the air consumption is equal in all cases. It has been established how it is necessary to change the fuel consumption depending on the concentration of gases in a mixture with methane in order to implement these conditions.
