If your question isn’t answered here, consider asking us on the Cantera Users’ Group. Install the Dependencies tool. If you are using Conda: Run this tool from a terminal where your Cantera …
During processing of an input file, errors may be encountered. These could be syntax errors, or could be ones that are flagged as errors by Cantera due to some apparent inconsistency in the …
Many existing reaction mechanism files are in CK format, by which we mean the input file format developed for use with the Chemkin-II software package (and subsequent releases) as specified …

All calculations in Cantera require an input file to describe the properties of the relevant phase(s) of matter. These input files can be provided via one of several methods: Use an existing…
This guide shows you how to build C++ programs that use Cantera’s features. This section is about compiling applications that use Cantera; instructions to compile the Cantera library itself …
This guide demonstrates how to use Cantera’s thermodynamic data to calculate the lower heating value (LHV) and higher heating value (HHV) of methane and other fuels. The complete reaction fo…
Go to the end to download the full example code. In this example, we illustrate how to calculate the open circuit voltage (voltage when the external applied current is zero) for a lithium io…
Thermodynamic data for a range of species can be obtained from the NASA ThermoBuild tool. This thermodynamic data is described using the 9-coefficient NASA polynomial parameterization, which…
This guide demonstrates calculation of the adiabatic flame temperature for a methane/air mixture, comparing calculations which assume either complete or incomplete combustion. The stoichiome…
