DESCRIPTION OF AN IBM-704 FORTRAN PROGRAM FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY FOR A HYDROGEN AND AIR SYSTEM.

Abstract

The IBM-704 Fortran computer program described will determine the combustion efficiency of a given mixture of hydrogen and air, used as combustion reactants, within plus or minus 2 percent at combustion temperatures above 2500 R. The combustion efficiency is defined as the ratio of the actual enthalpy release to the theoretical enthalpy release. This program is valid only for nonvitiated air and hydrogen fuel for any inlet enthalpy level of either air or hydrogen. Sample inputs and outputs and a program listing are presented. (Author)
