The manuals listed below form the Chemkin product documentation set. They include descriptions of the procedures and theoretical details needed to use Chemkin products.
| Chemkin Getting Started Guide focuses primarily on the mechanics of using Chemkin and is designed to help you navigate through the User Interface, and to quickly become familiar with set-up, solution, and analysis procedures. In addition, this manual provides an overview of techniques for assembling and working with chemical kinetics data. |
| Chemkin Advanced Analysis Guide describes advanced analysis features in Chemkin, Parameter Study and Uncertainty Analysis. The Parameter Study Facility allows easy automation of multiple runs to consider the effects of variable inputs to a particular reactor model or Chemkin project. The Uncertainty Analysis Facility performs multiple-input, multiple-output uncertainty analysis with quantitative assessment of variant contributions. |
| Chemkin Application Programming Interface Manual contains detailed programming-interface information for accessing Chemkin subroutine libraries for gas-phase kinetics, surface-kinetics, thermodynamic-property, and transport-property utilities. Explicit instructions are also given for modifying user-routine templates to customize existing Chemkin reactor-model programs. |
| Chemkin Input Manual serves as a reference to Chemkin users who require more information about the input parameters needed in defining a chemically reacting flow simulation. In particular, information about syntax and format of chemical reaction mechanism input files, thermodynamic data, and transport-property data are described in detail. |
| Chemkin LPCVD Thermal Analyzer and Furnace Manual provides information about two Chemkin CVD (chemical vapor deposition) reactor models, the low-pressure LPCVD Furnace Model and the Thermal Analyzer Model. |
| Chemkin Theory Manual provides a broad overview of the relationships and formulations used in calculations of Chemkin chemical property and source terms. It also provides brief derivations and explanations of the governing equations solved by Chemkin Reactor Models, as well as a discussion of numerical solution techniques and sensitivity analysis employed in the models. |
| Chemkin Visualization Manual describes visualization features in Chemkin, the Chemkin Visualizer, and other post-processing alternatives. |
| Chemkin Reaction Workbench User's Manual provides details on using a suite of Chemkin mechanism-processing utilities designed for automated and guided mechanism reduction, mechanism extraction, mechanism merge, and the Surrogate Blend Optimizer. |
| Mechanism Reduction Best Practices describes the prerequisites, input requirements, appropriate scenarios, methodology, and recommended settings for reducing mechanisms for engine applications when using Ansys Chemkin Reaction Workbench. |
| Energico Tutorials provides a simulation of a gas turbine combustor sector, using data files provided by ANSYS. This Energico case considers a methane (CH4) fueled cylindrical combustor, a wall jet can combustor. |
Chemkin tutorials for Chemkin and Reaction Workbench are available as part of the Chemkin installation. See the Chemkin Tutorials and Reaction Workbench Tutorial Guide for information about selecting, accessing, and running the samples.
The Ansys customer site contains tutorials that demonstrate the use of Ansys Energico. To access tutorials and their input files, go to the tutorials area of the customer site.
