Cantera is a free and powerful tool in terms of solving chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport processes. Although Cantera is not as fast as Chemkin whose algorithm has been optimized for commercial application, the interface provided by Cantera efficiently couples itself with user develo ...
Comparing with Chemkin, Cantera is open and free, although much slower. The existed chemical mechanisms are almost all in Chemkin format which cannot be used by Cantera. The gasoline surrogate mechanism from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the NO mechanism developed by Dagaut were blen ...
CHEMKIN is a powerful software tool for solving complex chemical kinetics problems. Comparing with other similar software, CHEMKIN-Pro has a much faster calculation speed. The GUI of CHEMKIN makes it easy for people to use as long as the inputs are simple. However, when encountering complex and nu ...
