Balance energy across the burner to get temperature rise and fuel–air ratio.
Build a combustor model: from an energy balance across the burner, compute the fuel-air ratio needed for a target turbine-inlet temperature, and the adiabatic flame temperature.

Objective
Write fuel_air_ratio(T_in, T_out, LHV, cp) from an energy balance, and compute the turbine-inlet temperature for a given fuel flow. Validate that f increases with the target temperature.
