CHEMKED-II

Chemked-II is a multi-purpose post-processor for viewing and analyzing results of chemical kinetics simulation. Information needed for the program operation is stored in solver files that are created by the Chemked-I tools directly from databases under consideration. A solver file contains a reaction mechanism and relevant thermodynamic data. These files can be used in the Chemked solver to solve problems at different initial conditions for a given reaction set. The results are analyzed with Chemked-II tools using data from solver file. The post-processor output contains numerical and graphical information on mixture-averaged gas parameters, concentrations, mole and mass fractions of species. In addition, the post-processor gives the full information about reaction rates, reaction heat production rates and contributions of reactions to the species and temperature derivatives.

Chemked-II contains a program module for creating reduced reaction mechanism on the basis of numerical results previously obtained for full reaction system. Description of the reduction technique and sample problems can be found at: Reduced Reaction Kinetics.
