National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

NASA Chemical Equilibrium with Applications (CEA) Tutorial.

N240016039

Publication Date	2024
Personal Author	Leader, M.; McTague, M.; Lavelle, T.; Wang, X.; Dickens, K.; Hill, J.
Page Count	44
Abstract	The software program Chemical Equilibrium with Applications (CEA) is used to solve chemical equilibrium, and compute thermodynamic and transport properties of the resulting mixture, and also has special solvers dedicated to rocket, shock, and detonation problems. We will give an overview of CEA’s features and discuss some of the fundamental equations used by CEA, as well as the fundamental assumptions, in order to provide users with a better understanding of what exactly the software is doing. We have undertaken a full re-write of the software in the last two years, so we will also provide details about the new version of CEA as well.
