SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the need for enthalpy tables for the combustion of various fuels, specifically gasoline (CnH1.87n), methanol, ethanol, and propane. The user seeks comprehensive data to accommodate varying pressures and temperatures beyond the basic table available at 295 K and 1 atm. Recommendations include utilizing resources like the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and conducting online searches for accessible data formats suitable for integration into a spreadsheet.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of enthalpy and its role in combustion processes
  • Familiarity with fuel chemistry, particularly hydrocarbons
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and state properties
  • Proficiency in spreadsheet software for data manipulation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics for detailed enthalpy data
  • Explore online databases for combustion properties of fuels
  • Learn about thermodynamic tables and their applications in engineering
  • Investigate software tools for thermodynamic calculations, such as Aspen Plus
USEFUL FOR

Automotive engineers, chemical engineers, and researchers involved in combustion science and fuel efficiency optimization will benefit from this discussion.

Hi all!
I am rather new to the site and in addition, most of the topics I am messing with are outside of my schooling and experience as I am an electrical engineering and an automotive gear head. I am trying to further automotive science by creating a spreadsheet for combustion and power and other mumble jumble. Anway, I have done some posting under the following thread:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=571258

a lot of what I asked for I have had to do some baby steps to accomplish my cool spreadsheet. Anyway, what I need help is enthalpy tables for fuel combustion of gasoline (CnH1.87n), methanol, ethanol, and propane. I have a basic table for 295*K(?) and 1 atm. However user configuration of various geometric aspect and environment aspects don't conform to that. I need way more data. My pressures and temperatures can vary quite a bit. I need tables to look up the information, then extrapolate to meet the conditions. Where can I find the information? Is it online in a soft format that I could just cut and paste?

I appeciate any and all help! Thanks!
