4.2.1. Species Information and Property Entries

Table 4.3: Chemical species identification properties lists the identifying properties and Table 4.4: Fuel species single-temperature properties lists the temperaturedependent physical properties that are employed in a Surrogate Blend Optimization or included in the Fuel Library for each component listed inTable 4.3: Chemical species identification properties. A subset of these properties are based on correlations that are defined in Correlations Used for Non-constant Properties. See Correlations Used for Non-constant Properties for details regarding the definition of the coefficients used for each property.
