Stochiometric Combustion Calculator

General for hydrocarbons is given as follows

alkane = CnH2n+2.

alkene = CnH2n.

alkyne = CnH2n.

The standard balanced equation for combustion hydrocarbon is given as

C_xH_y+(x+y/4)O₂→xCO₂+(y/2)H₂O

Therefore using above equation we calculate \"ar\" stochiometric ratio for alkane, alkene, alkyne.

ar_alkane = (3*n+1)/2
ar_alkene = (3*n)/2
ar_alkyne = (3*n-1)/2

%Stoichiometric Combustion Calculator for Alkane, Alkene and Alkyne fuels

%ar = stochiometric coefficient
%n = number of moles of C


n= [1:11];


% alkane = CnH2n+2.
% alkene = CnH2n.
% alkyne = CnH2n

% There ar for above compounds be as follows

ar_alkane = (3*n+1)/2;
ar_alkene = (3*n)/2;
ar_alkyne = (3*n-1)/2;
