CHEMKIN

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]
