This document provides instructions for using three computer programs (TPEQUIL, HPFLAME, and UVFLAME) that calculate properties of equilibrium combustion products. It describes the interface software, executable modules, input and output files, and Fortran source codes for the programs.

Stephen R. Turns. Copyright 1996 McGraw-Hill, Inc. All rights reserved. INTERFACE SHELL: Double click on the "Access to TPEQUIL, HPFLAME and UVFLAME Software" icon to start the interactive shell application for the software on this diskette. This application requires a system running Microsoft Windows 95, 98 or higher, or Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or higher (see ACCESSING SOFTWARE FROM DOS, below, for systems with earlier operating systems). EXECUTABLE MODULES: TPEQUIL.EXE, HPFLAME.EXE, UVFLAME2.EXE were compiled using Microsoft Fortran PowerStation V1.00. All codes are based on Olikara, C., and Borman, G. L., "A Computer Program for Calculating Properties of Equilibrium Combustion Products with Some Applications to I. C. Engines," SAE Paper 750468, 1975. * INPUT FILES: INPUT.TP, INPUT.HP, INPUT.UV provide data input to the corresponding applications (TPEQUIL.EXE, HPFLAME.EXE, and UVFLAME2.EXE) and are edited using the interactive shell. After opening the "Access to TPEQUIL, HPFLAME and UVFLAME Software" application, chose an input file from the File menu. In each file, all data are entered using free format, i.e., integer, floating point, and exponential forms are all allowed. Data are entered in the space preceeding the data entry definition, which follows a slash. The data lines must be maintained in the proper sequence. EXAMPLE:
3000.0
/TEMPERATURE (K)
After you have entered your data, click on the "Save & Run" button to save your changes and to run the appropriate executable module (TPEQUIL.EXE, HPFLAME.EXE, or UVFLAME2.EXE). NOTE: The files INPUTARC.TP, INPUTARC.HP and INPUTARC.UV, are duplicates of the original input files and should be maintained as originals. These files will allow you to confirm the input data format and the input data line sequence. Do not modify these files. If you need to use these files in place of the original input files, it will be necessary to copy and rename them. OUTPUT FILES: OUTPUT.TP, OUTPUT.HP, OUTPUT.UV containing the program output, are generated upon execution of the corresponding application. After clicking the "Save & Run" button in the interface shell, the appropriate file is opened in a window. This data can be selected using the mouse and copied to the Windows clipboard by choosing Copy under the Edit menu. It can then be pasted into another program, such as a spreadsheet application, using that application's Paste command. FORTRAN SOURCE CODES: TPEQUIL.FOR, HVFLAME2.FOR, UVFLAME.FOR are text files and may be viewed using a text editor such as the Windows Notepad application. The codes may also be edited using a text editor and recompiled with any standard Fortran 77 compiler.
GPROP.DAT is the thermodynamic property data file. It too can be listed and modified using a text editor such as Notepad. ACCESSING SOFTWARE FROM DOS: The input files, output files, and fortran sources can be modified using the DOS Editor, which is invoked by typing EDIT FILENAME.EXT at the DOS prompt. Position the cursor over the data you want to change and simply enter the changes. Save the file. Press F1 for Help or refer to your DOS manual for further instructions. The executable modules TPEQUIL.EXE, UVFLAME2.EXE, and HPFLAME.EXE can be invoked by typing their filename at the DOS prompt. The output files can then be viewed or printed using the DOS Editor. * The imbedded codes, with modifications, are used with permission of the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.
