Dear rocketworkbench-devel colleagues, During frozen perfomance calculations with Cpropep using either Cpropep-Web on line or the recent CpropepShell interfases I noticed rather important discrepancies with the values presented for the example given in NASA RP 1311, pages 163 -4, specially lower throat and exit temperatures and throat entropy. Surprisingly for me using Cpropep for frozen perfomance calculation the obtained entropy value at throat is lower than the values at chamber and exit sections and not equal as should be the case for an isoentropic expansion, regardless of equilibrium or frozen conditons, as illustrated in the mentioned example of the NASA report.. This is not the case for shifting perfomance calculations where all the values match very well the example values with constant entropy values for all three sections and equal to the cooresponding values at chamber and exit conditions for frozen conditions. The input heat of formation data for the components used in Cpropep are slightly different from those of the example, but seem to affect very little the output data, at least for shifting perfomance. Please find attached files with the calculation results. I hope someone can help to explain and resolve the differences.
