Question
Is the irreversibility in a combustion process significant? Why is that?
Step 1
Combustion is highly irreversible because it releases large amounts of chemical energy very quickly and at non‑zero temperature and finite rates. That produces large entropy generation from several sources: the intrinsic irreversibility of chemical reactions, heat Show more…
