Chemical Kinetics Software

The following programs are provided for users interested in computing explosion properties with realistic thermodynamics and detailed chemical reaction networks with rate constants. Of particular interest for gaseous explosions are models for detonation structure (ZND) and constant volume explosions (CV). The links below will take you to more information and downloadable files.

Chemical Equilibrium Software

STANJAN was the creation of Prof. Wm. C. Reynolds who passed away on Jan 3, 2004. We no longer redistribute STANJAN and the status of future releases or further development is unclear. Thanks, Prof. Reynolds.

Cantera contains a very nice graphical tool (MixMaster) for carrying out simple equilibrium computations and you can use the open source distribution to write special purpose equilibrium routines.
