Theoretical study of synthetic fuel from water gas
Abstract
The synthetic fuel from water gas is studied through the concept of statistical thermodynamics. The equilibrium composition of the fuel after simultaneous chemical reactions can be predicted by the probability which is related to the change of entropy of each reaction. The method is a straight forward iteration process instead of the traditional method in solving a set of nonlinear algebraic equations.
