Talk:T-Stoff

Unsigned comment
T-stoff is the name of a chemical weapon used in WWI by the Germans. The caustic mixture was used in the German Me163 and was 80% Hydrogen Peroxide and 20% distilled water, by weight. Phosphoric acid was one of the stabilizers used to produce this chemical. Whomever knows more, please fill in!

T-Stoff C-Stoff ratio
This source reports (for the Walter HWK 109-509 engine) a C-Stoff:T-Stoff stochiometric ratio of 0.36:1 (which is close to 1:3). In the article is reported a 3:1 ratio. Who is wrong? --Nubifer (talk) 21:46, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Yep. It's hard to calculate an exact stoichiometric ratio, partly because the composition of C-Stoff varied due to shortages of hydrazine, falling to 15% at the end of the war (and shortage of hydrazine was the main reason the Me 163 didn't do a lot in the war, they didn't have the fuel to operate it), and partly not knowing whether to calculate to carbon monoxide or dioxide - and more, it is unusual to operate an engine at stoichiometric ratio anyway.

Actual ratios in use varied from 3.1 to 3.45, most often around 3.15 - that's 3.15 T-Stoff to one part C-Stoff, or oxidiser-to-fuel, the usual way these ratios are given by rockety guys. the original article is wildly wrong. I have corrected it. peter@tsto.co.uk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.121.230 (talk) 04:22, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
