THERMODYNAMIC AND COMPOSITION DATA FOR CONSTANT-VOLUME COMBUSTION OF STOICHIOMETRIC MIXTURES OF HYDROGEN-OXYGEN DILUTED WITH HELIUM OR HYDROGEN,

Abstract

The equilibrium thermodynamic properties of the burned gases resulting from complete combustion at constant volume of a hydrogen-oxygen stoichiometric mixture diluted with an excess of hydrogen or helium have been computed for a wide range of initial pressures (from 1 to 10,000 atmospheres), assuming no dissipative effects. For the initial mixtures represented by the formula (2 + m)H2 + O2 + nHe, a computer program written in FORTRAN II for a 7090 IBM computer was utilized, and was convenient for the computation of the post-combustion properties for any set of values of m and n within the ranges 0 < or =m <or = 6 and 0 < or = n < or = 16. The problem leads to a complete system of nine algebraic non-linear equations. Outputs are provided for the following quantities: Final temperature and final-to-initial temperature ratio, final pressure and final-to-initial pressure ratio, final molecular weight, specific heat at constant pressure of the frozen composition combustion products, frozen composition specific heat ratio of the combustion products, final frozen composition speed of sound, final-to-initial speed of sound ratio, number of moles in burned gases per mole of oxygen in initial mixture, final-to-initial mole number ratio, molar concentration of H2O, OH, H2, O2, H, O and He in the burned gases.
