Results of thermodynamic equilibrium calculation along isentropic pressure-temperature paths. The amount of species normalized by the total number of moles of C atoms in the reaction system is plotted as a function of temperature. Each pressure-temperature path is shown in Fig. 6. The entropy of each path is (a) 7 kJ/K/kg, (b) 8 kJ/K/kg, (c) 9 kJ/K/kg, and (d) 10 kJ/K/kg. The elemental composition is C/H/O/Si = 1/2/10/5 for all the cases.
