Keyword Phrase

Description

INITIALIZE CHEMKIN

Title of keyword block that provides the names of the linking files created by the Gas-phase Kinetics, Surface Kinetics and Transport Pre-processors. The default is for the files to be in the directory where it runs, but more complete path names can be used. This keyword block can appear only once, at the beginning of the input file. The LPCVD Furnace Model initializes Gas-phase Kinetics only once, so changing the chemistry requires that the reactor model must be saved and the LPCVD Furnace Model be restarted with different Gas-phase Kinetics linking files. Requires END statement to close keyword block.

GAS KINETICS DATAFILE =

Provides name of the linking file with the gas-phase chemistry. Part of the INITIALIZE CHEMKIN keyword block.

Example: GAS KINETICS DATAFILE = SIH4GAS.asc

Default: chem.asc

GAS TRANSPORT DATAFILE =

Provides name of the linking file with the transport data. Part of the INITIALIZE CHEMKIN keyword block.

Example: GAS TRANSPORT DATAFILE = mytran.asc

Default: tran.asc

SURFACE KINETICS DATAFILE =

Provides name of the linking file with the surface chemistry. Part of the INITIALIZE CHEMKIN keyword block.

Example: SURFACE KINETICS DATAFILE = SIH4SURF.asc
