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 specifying several polynomial constants and is typically used together with CHEMKIN import. The
User defined alternative only requires input of the
Species molar enthalpy (J/mol) and the
Heat capacity (J/(mol·K)).
Similar to its parent Species Group node, the checkbox
Show species name from CHEMKIN file is available when its coupled
Reversible Reaction Group feature is set to CHEMKIN import. Select this checkbox to show the original species names (under the column
Name in CHEMKIN) from the CHEMKIN file.
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.
