Help with the combustion of gas inside of a Hydocarbon ring

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on modeling the combustion of nitrous oxide gas within a paraffin ring to determine the burn rate of paraffin per unit time. The user assumes that the gas completely covers the interior of the wax ring and applies the Ideal Gas Law for calculations. The model is designed to simulate hybrid fuel grain regression, with the intention of increasing complexity as research progresses. The user seeks assistance specifically in calculating the burn rate in a pressurized environment.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of combustion chemistry and thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with the Ideal Gas Law
  • Knowledge of hybrid fuel grain regression modeling
  • Experience with pressure effects on combustion processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research combustion modeling techniques for nitrous oxide
  • Study the Ideal Gas Law applications in combustion scenarios
  • Explore hybrid fuel grain regression methods and their complexities
  • Investigate the effects of pressure on burn rates in solid fuels
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in combustion science, engineers working on hybrid fuel systems, and anyone involved in modeling combustion processes in pressurized environments.

i'm trying to model the combustion of a pressurized gas (nitrous oxide) inside of a paraffin ring. What I'm trying to figure out is the amount of paraffin that will be burning per unit time. What I'm assuming is that the gas is totally covering the inside of the wax ring and Ideal Gas law. I'm also assuming that the paraffin does not melt, but burns consistently around the ring. The best way to imagine it is as if the Nitrous is a disk inside a paraffin disc. Also Consider that the Nitrous does not replenish. I'm trying to model hybrid fuel grain regression. I intend to make the model more complicated over time as my research advances and the model evolves.

I'm sorry you are not finding help at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us?
 
Well just calculating burn rate in a pressurised environment would be fine. I can figure the rest out
