The Species Thermodynamics node (
) creates variables for the enthalpies, entropies, and heat capacities for all the species/surface species present in the
Species Group parent feature. The purpose is to compute thermodynamic mixture properties and the heat of reactions.
Select a Type selection for the thermodynamic properties. The
NASA format alternative requires the setting of several polynomial constants and is typically used together with CHEMKIN import. The
User defined alternative only requires input of Species molar enthalpy (J/mol) and Species molar capacity (J/(mol·K)).
This section allows import of thermodynamic CHEMKIN transport files. To import the data directly into the table columns, click Browse to locate the CHEMKIN file to be imported, then click
Import. Note that this can only be done for the
NASA format option.
