hi, I'm wondering what happens when you burn a liquid fuel in a combustion chamber, eg. suppose you've got octane (C8H18) and you're using air as the comburent, but the equivalence ratio is less than one, so that not all the octane can get used up... Does the 'left over' octane come out of the chamber as liquid..? - suppose the temperature in the chamber is around 2000K . . . well no, I guess it wouldn't be liquid at that temperature assuming the pressure is the atmospheric pressure :P . . . so would it just evaporate into gaseous octane and form part of the flue gases? That is, assuming no dissociation occurs . . . um, could the gaseous octane dissociate too?
Thank you :p
