RP-1 is highly refined form of kerosene used for many first stage rocket engines. The average composition of it is indicated by CH1.9 a. What is the stoichiometric mixture ratio (MR) for RP-1 and oxygen? b. Now, you have a mixture of air and RP-1 with three times more air (in terms of moles) than is needed to burn all the fuel. How high is the final temperature? The heats of formation are given in the table below. In molar quantities, assume 1 mole of air is (O2+3.76N2). The reactants have a temperature of 25°C before combustion. You may use the average values of the specific heats for each constituent. C. Would the adiabatic flame temperature be lower or higher for a rocket engine that uses pure oxygen instead of air? Explain.
