omigod!

Back to school the lot of you except rainboe and stay in class. Try this website of Richard Shelquist's Calculator Index Page and don't ask questions until you a) understand what is meant by perfect gas behaviour b) understand that air including moisture vapour very closely resembles a perfect gas c) understand that water droplets are liquid. Oh my Lordy. And for adiabatic compressibility of air and kerosene droplets including flame temperature and local speed of sound try mechanics and thermodynamics of propulsion by Philip Hill and Carl Peterson. I don't think the kerosene droplets compress by much do you?
