In the suggested matlab code for the function vdot.m (which is called by reactor_ode.m), volume change to keep constant pressure is calculated by v = 1.e11 *...
To do a different pressure, simply change 101325 to the desired pressure setpoint in Pascals. This function has the effect of expanding the volume whenever...
Thanks Dave. That helps, but I cant seem to find this 'demo' folder. pac ... the ... coefficient ... deviations ... occur. ... doing ... called ... about ... ...
Hi Dr. Goodwin, I am a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, working with Dr. Girshick, and we are interested in using Cantera to work with our...

Sarah, On a unix system, the sequence ./configure make make install should work if you have write access to /usr/local. If not, give the 'prefix' option to...
Flame simulations can now be done with Cantera in Matlab, including burner-stabilized premixed flames, stagnation-point premixed flames at a surface, and...
Dear David: I have downloaded the Cantera 1.4 package and have tried installing it under Windows 2000. However, I cannot find the "dfor.lib" which is required...
Luo, To build Cantera on Windows, you need both Microsoft Visual C++ and Compaq Visual Fortran, The library dfor.lib comes with Visual Fortran. Alternatively,...
Dear David: But I have integrated Intel Fortran compiler into Visual Studio? Must I use Compaq Visual Fortran? By the way, I cannot find the binary version for...
The new user who sent the last message has been removed from the group, and the message has been deleted. This is the first 'junk' message we've had in this...
Dave - Hi. I'm running the latest release of Cantera, and I've got all my students using it. It's very nice. One question: Can we do surface chemistry in...
Nick - Glad to hear Cantera is working well for you. Surface chemistry is in the works, but is not quite ready yet, Hopefully it will be ready in a few...
As a result of the junk messages we have received, I am changing the group settings so that messages from new members will be moderated. If this doesn't fix...
Ulf, Yes, you are right. It works fine from Matlab and Python, but not C++. This was an oversight when I made changes to C++ class IdealGasMix. For now, a...
Dear Prof. Goodwin, first of all, thanks for the Cantera-1.4 release - it is much more structured than the old ones. I´m using Cantera mostly for research ...
Dear Professor Goodwin, I am a PhD student and I would like to study the multiphase thermodynamic equilibrium of a Si-H-C system. I have already studied the...
Ulf, Yes, it is now necessary to define a wall to do non-adiabatic reactor simulations. Sensitivity analysis is not yet implemented, but would be a welcome ...
Alessandro, Multiphase equilibrium is not currently implemented. But you can do it yourself. For example, suppose you want to allow solid silicon, You need to...
Professor Goodwin, Could you suggest a way to get a mixture's autoignition temperature through Cantera? I've tried a few techniques, but I am a little ...
I found some errors in the definitions of mass-based properties in demo_ftnlib.cpp. They seem to have been copied and pasted from the mole-based property...
Dear Mr. Goodwin, I used the Thermo Chemical Calculator on the caltech web site (http://blue.caltech.edu/tcc/)in May for some equilibrium calculation for my...
Sebastien, The TCC calculator is currently down because the power supply for 'blue' needs to be replaced. It will hopefully be fixed next week. But if you have...
Hi Dave I have used chemkin for several years, but are slowly trying to change my platform to cantera, and am indeed impressed with the work you have done. I...
Cantera has a new input file format, designed for specifying both single-phase and multi-phase problems. At least, it WILL have the new format as soon as...
