An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...
