I am having some issues when trying to copy IdealGasMix objects. From looking at the header files, it seems that the copy constructor is intended to be usable,...
Hi, You can not use a copy constructor for an ideal gas mixture because the assignment operator is (still) not implemented. If you put try – catch block you...
The reason for this is that Cantera builds complete objects for use in C++ code from CTI or XML input files. This maintains consistency with objects created...
Dave, IMHO it would be very nice to have the possibility to create new objects by copying from other objects. It will allow to avoid time- consuming reading...
Dave, Thanks for the explanation. Is there any chance that the copy constructor will be implemented? I was hoping to be able to use them in some of the...
Hi, copy constructors and assignment operators are implemented for the thermo routines, but not for the kinetics operator. That's why the thermo part of the...
I think we also need to keep in mind that we are not just writing for C++ "power users." Essentially all useful eqs of state should be accessible from the...
Hello, While I admit that bindings to Python and Matlab are of paramount importance, it is quite pitiful that C++ core should suffer from this. It seems for me...
The IdealGasMix class is provided for convenience only. If your prefer, you can use two objects - one of class Cantera::IdealGasPhase that does only thermo,...
Dave, Thank you for pointing this out. I will look at the IdealGasPhase class. I am quite happy with the IdealGasMix class though. My remarks are mainly of...
Hi all, I experience the same problem on Linux, with Matlab 7.2.0.283 (R2006a) and the current CVS version of cantera. Does anybody know a way how to use the...
Hi..I would like to use Cantera to study air_Methane combustion with 1 step mechanisme; i.e. CH4 + 2 O2 => CO2 + 2 H2O . The progress rate Q is: Q = Kf...
Hi, I am a new Cantera user, interested in doing chemical equilibrium calculations for diesel combustion analysis. I have installed the MATLAB tools and...
Hi! I'm simulating a methane-air opposed-flow diffusion flame in Matlab and am particularly interested in the extinction strain rate. I adopted the matlab...
Hi, I wonder if anyone has tried calculating the derivatives of the thermodynamic properties from Cantera. I need to compute derivatives respect to T and P for...
Hello Peter, It is not completely clear for me what derivatives are you going to calculate. If the mixture composition does not change, every thermodynamic...
Is there software in Cantera to fit thermochemical data to the NASA thermochemical forms? In the past I've done this using some Chemkin auxiliary packages, but...
I found the bug, so please disregard my last post. However, I'm still concerned about the negative mass fractions. (When I load the solution of the last...
Hi!! I have already solved this problem. For 1step-reaction CH4 + 2 O2 => CO2 + 2 H2O is sufficient to modifie the orders of the reaction in the .cti file....
Hello, I get the error below as i am trying to solve a stagnation flow problem. I dont need the coverage to be solved. All what i need is the species...
Hi Anatoli, Thank you very much for your suggestion. Actually, I need to compute equilibrium derivatives for the equilibrium compositions at each time step. I...
Hello all, Is there any general PFR model available in cantera? If not, then how do we model it ? Since I am a beginner in cantera, the answer to the above...
Problem solved. One of the Arrenhius parameters is not correct: in the irreversible reaction A=0.2E+16 instead of A=0.6E+16. Thanks. ... possible to...
Hi all, I was experimenting with the example free_h2_air.py and I have been able to run the example using python. However, I would prefer to do my work in...
Hello, When parsing the chemical mechanism, Cantera wrongly marks these reactions as duplicate: CH2OH+CH3O<=>CH2O+CH3OH CH2O+CH3OH=CH2OH+CH2OH Quick look in...
If you're in the Pasadena area and happen to see this license plate, you'll know who's car it is -- mine! I think I have a lock on the state of California, as...
I claim Maryland! Actually looks kinda stylish against that car color. May have to steal the whole idea! ... From: Dave Goodwin To: cantera@yahoogroups.com ...

Hi all, I am using cantera with matlab. I am trying to simulate IC engine combustion using cantera. I got a code in python from Proff. Goodwin for the same. ...
hi, I am a matlab user of cantera .I succeeded to convert chemkin files to cantera cti files using ck2cti programme .next I want to create my own reaction...
