Temperature calculation for combustion chamber

In summary, the temperature calculation for a combustion chamber involves determining the thermal conditions essential for efficient combustion. Key factors include fuel type, combustion efficiency, heat transfer rates, and the specific heat capacities of the gases involved. Accurate calculations are crucial for optimizing performance, minimizing emissions, and ensuring the structural integrity of the combustion chamber. Various mathematical models and empirical data are often used to predict temperature profiles and achieve desired operational outcomes.

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to calculate the temperature near the roof of combustion chamber based on thermocouple reading which is located at nine o'clock position. Tip of measuring device is located 49 mm from the surface of hot face material. Please find the picture attached.

Does anyone can advise me on how to proceed with the calculation? I assume that convection is the main heat transfer mechanism which should be considered here.

Hello, and :welcome: !

No replies so far, which doesn't surprise me: post and picture provide far too little information.

What is it we are looking at?
Where are heat sources and sinks?

When I look at the picture ( a cross section at some point somewhere?), the first thing that comes to mind is: how accurate can this 1623 be ? And that the inaccuracy of that measurement may well be a lot bigger than the temperature difference between side and roof.

Sorry to come up with such a pessimistic reply :confused:
