A modern jet engine operates so that the fuel is sprayed into air at a P, T higher than the fuel critical point. Assume we have a rich mixture of 50% n-octane and 50% air by mole at 500 K and 3.5 MPa near the nozzle exit. Do I need to treat this as a real gas mixture or is an ideal gas assumption reasonable? To answer find Z and the enthalpy departure for the mixture assuming Kay’s rule and the generalized charts.
