15.1 EINFÜHRUNG (INTRODUCTION)<br />

This chapter deals with an application of the laws of thermodynamics on which entire textbooks have been<br />

written. Chemists call this topic physical chemistry, and it forms the basis of much of applied chemistry. It is<br />

important to engineers, because it provides a fundamental understanding of the combustion process in engines,<br />

power plants, fuel cells, and other chemically based energy conversion processes.<br />

This chapter has three main goals. Our first goal is to be able to calculate the amount of heat produced in the<br />

combustion of an organic fuel. The second is to understand the basic elements of chemical equilibrium and<br />

dissociation, and the third is to look at the emerging field of fuel cell technology. To be able to discuss these<br />

subjects adequately, we need to define what we mean by the term fuel, weneedtodecidehowthethermodynamic<br />

properties of the products and the reactants are related through a standard reference state, andweneed<br />

to lay the foundations for discussing chemical reaction energy conversion efficiency.<br />
