This chapter presents the key equations for a multicomponent, chemically reacting perfect gas which will be used in this text [1]. These equations describe the thermodynamic relationships between state variables in a perfect gas, such as the interrelationship between pressure, density, and entropy. They also describe the physical laws of conservation of mass, which relates the density and velocity, the momentum equation, which relates the velocity and pressure, and the energy equation, which relates the internal and kinetic energy of the flow to work and heat transfer to the fluid.
