Equilibrium Compositions and Compressibility Factors for Air in the Temperature Range 1500 to 13000 Kelvin and for Densities from 0.000001 to 1000 Times Standard Density

Abstract

A formalism for computing thermodynamic properties and equilibrium compositions of reacting gas mixtures at high densities is developed. This formalism makes use of the Haar-Shenker version of the augmented hard sphere equation of state. The formalism is used for computing compressibility factors and equilibrium compositions of air in the temperature range 2,000 K - 13,000 K for densities from that appropriate to air at standard conditions (0 C, 1 atmosphere) to densities 1000 times as great. These tables are consistent with the earlier NBS tables which covered the range up to 100 times that density. Some interesting features of the dependence of composition on density are discussed.
