CHEMKIN

Last updated

CHEMKIN is a proprietary software tool for solving complex chemical kinetics problems. It is used worldwide in the combustion, [1] chemical processing, [2] microelectronics [ citation needed ] and automotive [ citation needed ] industries, and also in atmospheric science. [3] It was originally developed at Sandia National Laboratories and is now developed by a US company, Reaction Design.

Reaction Design was acquired by ANSYS in 2014 so Chemkin and related products are now available through ANSYS. [4]
