Combustor Computations for CO2-Neutral Aviation

This method can be used to determine synthetic and biological fuels and blends.

Knowing the pure component C_p⁰ or mixture C_p⁰ as computed by a flexible code such as NIST-STRAPP or McBride-Gordon, one can, within reasonable accuracy, determine the thermophysical properties necessary to predict the combustion characteristics when there are no tabulated or computed data for those fluid mixtures or limited results for lower temperatures. (Note: C_p⁰ is molar heat capacity at constant pressure.) The method can be used in the determination of synthetic and biological fuels and blends using the NIST code to compute the C_p⁰ of the mixture.
