Transcribed Image Text:

A combustion gas mixture of oxygen and hydrogen at 3466 K and 10.34 MPa (1500 psi) has the composition shown in the table below. The figure below shows that expanding these gases to an exit pressure of 0.1 MPa, results in a specific impulse of 420 s with shifting equilibrium. If the mixture composition had been frozen throughout the expansion, determine how much the specific impulse would have been (for the same pressure ratio, pe/Po). The molecular weight of the mixture may be obtained from the original composition. The specific- heat ratio (y) for H2, O2, and H2O may be calculated at 2000 K using curve fits. For OH take y = 1.3. For O and H assume y = 1.67.
