Abstract
For the simpler fuels of known individual molecular structures, the stoichiometry, kinetics and thermochemistry of combustion can be derived from first principles, as shown briefly in the following sections. This in turn permits a broad extrapolation towards the unknown and relatively complex mixtures and blends of a wide variety of commercial and other combustible compounds.
