CHEMKIN

CHEMKIN is a commercial computational chemistry software, which is used to solve problems of the reaction kinetics. The software is used for the microelectronics industry, in the automotive sector for combustion processes and in the chemical processing industry.

The software was developed in 1980 by Sandia National Laboratories and programmed in Fortran. CHEMKIN consists of two Fortran - blocks:

  • The interpreter ( Fortran code)
  • The gas -phase subroutine library ( Fortran code)

And a thermodynamic database.

Starting in 1998, is being developed as a free alternative at the California Institute of Technology Cantera.
