Ansys Forte employs a fuel library file to obtain the liquid thermophysical properties and the thermodynamics and transport data for the fuel vapor species employed in simulations. The library default fuel library (fuel_library.inp in the data directory at the top level of the Ansys Forte installation) consists of element and species information and species properties, for common fuels and fuel additives.
Note: If necessary, you can modify the existing fuel properties as well as add new fuel species to the fuel library. Ansys recommends that new species be appended at the end of the species list to maintain the existing ordering of the species in the library.
Chemkin standard thermodynamic data format is used for the Fuel Library. This format is augmented with special tags that provide the physical properties of the fuel components.
