Abstract

Combustion modeling theory is an area of science that focuses on developing mathematical and computational models to describe and predict combustion processes, which occur when a fuel reacts with an oxidant, usually oxygen in the air. In this research, thermodynamic concepts, kinetic models and fluid mechanics models are applied to model an ideal combustion process in a combustion chamber of a jet engine in order predict the temperature variations in the combustor caused by the injection of hot gases into the chamber and by combustion.
