Week 3 - Adiabatic Flame Temperature calculation

I had got this file for CH4 and Modified it little bit

attached the Adiabatic Temperature againist Equivalence ratio plus generated species

Adiabatic flame temperature and equilibrium composition for a fuel/air mixture
as a function of equivalence ratio, including formation of solid carbon.
