Gas Properties Oxygen

Overview

Engineering reference data for Gas Properties Oxygen in combustion engineering.

Key Formulas

Heat Release

$Q = \dot{m} \cdot HV$

Fuel energy release rate.

Air-Fuel Ratio

$AF = \frac{m_{air}}{m_{fuel}}$

Mass of air per mass of fuel.

Excess Air

$EA = \frac{O_2}{21 - O_2} \times 100\%$

From flue gas oxygen measurement.

Variables

Properties

Oxygen exhibits distinct thermodynamic properties under standard conditions (25°C, 1 atm).

Note: The values provided are specific properties (per unit mass) at the stated standard conditions. The specific heat ratio ($\gamma = c_p/c_v$) for oxygen is approximately 1.395 at room temperature.
