Problem 3 Paraffin Wax/Oxygen Combustion: Construct the molecular structure for a
paraffin wax that can be modeled by the fully saturated paraffin (straight chain),n-
C32H66. Estimate the heat of formation for this particular wax in solid phase at 25C.
Assume that the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization at 25bar(C) are 40.6 and 83.7kcalkg,
respectively. Write down the stoichiometric reaction for this wax with gaseous oxygen.
Construct and plot the c** and vacuum Isp, versus OF curves. Assume a chamber pressure
of 500 and a nozzle area ratio of 70. Use the shifting equilibrium approximation.
