Kintecus

Chemists, biologists, physicists or teaching professionals who are involved in modeling reactions for various processes, might need a software solution that could allow them to avoid complex coding and inputting of custom scripts for such processes.

Kintecus is an application that was developed in order to provide users with a tool for modeling the reactions for chemical, biological, nuclear or atmospheric processes. It will employ three spreadsheet files, which are used for determining the output characteristics of the models.

The three spreadsheets are: a reaction spreadsheet, a species description spreadsheet and a parameter description spreadsheet. Physicists can rest assured since an optional thermodynamics description spreadsheet can also be provided on request.

People will be able to fit or optimize any numerical values (such as rate constants, initial concentrations, Troe factors, third body enhancements) against experimental or constructed datasets.

Being designed in order to provide a straightforward approach and ease-of-use, Kintecus will not require any programming, compiling or linking skills.

Some of its main features will enable users to convert Chemkin-II/Chemkin-III/Senkin models to Kintecus format and apply Kintecus features to them. Numerous predefined thermodynamic databases are included, which contain data on several species, spread over a wide temperature range.

People can perform both adiabatic or non-adiabatic reactions under isochoric or isobaric conditions and additional options for volume, temperature or concentrations are provided for customizing such reactions.

One will be able to fit or optimize regression rate constants, initial concentrations, Lindemann/Troe/SRI/LT parameters, enhanced third body factors, initial temperature, etc.
