The combustion chamber pressure of rockets, gas turbines and diesel engines is known to be above the critical pressure of fuel and oxidizers. In the case of rocket engines the fuel and/or oxidizer is often injected at cryogenic temperatures. This elevated combustion chamber pressure and low temperature demands special treatment for numerical analysis of mixing. Thus a novel implementation of an improved equation of state has been proposed which provides better estimation of densities. Experimental and numerical data from literature has been used for validation of the analysis methodology.
