Assignment 3
1. Explain the reason why the number of input states
is two. (hint: chapter 1 of thermodynamics textbook)
2. Proof the criterion for chemical equilibrium. (hint:
chapter 16 of thermodynamics textbook)
3. Using CEA calculate stoichiometric reaction of
H2/O2, and plot fig. 2.13 and 2.14 from textbook.
