Ansys Chemkin-pro 17.0 Release 15151 59 [best]
Using the surface kinetics module, researchers modeled platinum/ceria-zirconia catalysts. Release 15151 59 includes a specific patch for the sticking coefficient calculation (previously erroneously reset to 1.0 after the first time step). The corrected behavior matched experimental light-off curves within 5% error.
: Includes specialized models for Internal Combustion (IC) engines (Single/Multi-Zone HCCI, Spark Ignition), plasma, and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Key Features ANSYS Chemkin-Pro 17.0 Release 15151 59
Hypersonic scramjet teams modeling hydrogen-air combustion with detailed mechanisms (e.g., GRI Mech 3.0 or San Diego Mech) will benefit from the stiff solver enhancements. The build handles high-Mach numbers behind oblique shocks more stably. Using the surface kinetics module
