Calculating Sensible Enthalpy

[Ben Hoff]

Hi! Is there a good way to calculate the sensible enthalpy for a cantera solution object?

Hi Ben,

Cantera uses absolute enthalpy, so if you subtract enthalpy at 298.15 K and 1 atm you should get sensible portion. For example, for O2 formation enthalpy is zero so you can test it by using O2. In some mechanisms this is not zero but very close to zero because of curve fits to find coefficients of NASA polynomials.

Best,
