The Aerospace Corporation Computer Programs for the Solution of Multielement Chemical Equilibria

Abstract

Work has been completed on a generalized method for the analytical solution of complex multielement chemical equilibria under all conditions of pressure, temperature, and mass balance. The programs are written for the IBM 7090 and use a unique technique of majors and minors to guarantee automatic convergence. Variations of the basic solution method are applied to problems in chemical synthesis, thermal stability, and chemical compatibility. The programs are also used to obtain theoretical rocket propellant performance and Mollier diagrams.
