This project offers a time-saving solution for determining the rate of heat transfer in a combustion process. By utilizing this code, you can simplify the calculations involved in this complex task.

The code begins by taking your fuel input and balancing the combustion equation, providing the option to consider theoretical or excess air. Once the equation is balanced, the code proceeds to calculate the air-fuel ratio of the reaction.

Next, the code retrieves the enthalpies of formation for different compounds from thermodynamic property tables, considering the input and output temperatures. By combining these enthalpies with a given molar flow rate, the code employs the conservation of energy formula to determine the rate of heat transfer from the combustion reaction.

By utilizing this code, you can significantly reduce the manual effort typically required for determining the rate of heat transfer in combustion processes. The automated calculations streamline the process, enabling quick and accurate assessments. This project showcases the power of computational tools in simplifying complex calculations and enhancing efficiency in heat transfer analysis.
