    This document discusses calculating the mixture fraction for a nonpremixed n-hexane/air flame based on laser measurements of species mole fractions. [1] The stoichiometric mixture fraction is derived based on the combustion reaction. [2] An expression is developed relating the measured mole fractions of C6H14, CO2, CO, H2O, H2, OH, H, CH3 to the mixture fraction at the measurement point. [3] The mixture fraction is expressed in terms of mole fractions and molecular weights of the measured species.

    ME 525 Example Problem: Mixture Fraction Relations for a Nonpremixed n-Hexane/air

    Flame

    A nonpremixed n-hexane (C6H14) jet flame is stabilized with an annular co-flow of dry air.
    Laser diagnostics are used to make point measurements of temperature and the mole fractions of
    the following species: C6H14, CO2, CO, H2O, H2, OH, O, H, O2, N2, and CH3. Calculate the
    value of the stoichiometric mixture fraction and develop an expression for the value of the
    mixture fraction at a particular measurement point as a function of the measured mole fractions.

    For stoichiometric n - hexane / air combustion :
