A method is presented for a relatively accurate, noniterative, computationally efficient calculation of high‐pressure fluid‐mixture equations of state, especially targeted to gas turbines and rocket engines. Pressures above 1 bar and temperatures above 100 K are addressed. The method is based on curve fitting an effective reference state relative to departure functions formed using the Peng‐Robinson cubic state equation. Fit parameters for H 2 , O 2 , N 2 , propane, methane, n‐heptane, and methanol are given.
