Cantera - Zeldovich mechanism

[Ajay]

Hi all,
I want to know has any one tried the Zeldovich mechanism for
NOX modeling in the cantera. if so, i need some guidance.

Thank you

The 3 reaction steps of the extended Zeldovich mechanism is actually
already in the Gri-Mech mechanism shipping with Cantera. Depending on
your platform, and installation options you will find the mechanism
file somewhere like e.g. /usr/local/cantera/data/gri30.cti. One way to
go is to "deactivate" all other NO forming/consuming reactions
(although if your looking into combustion also, things may change).
Another way around would be to create your own mechanism, by cropping
out the necessary stuff from gri30.cti. You'll be able to find some
guidance in the following documents
www.aresinstitute.org/Cantera/definingphases.pdf
http://azure.caltech.edu/~dgg/cantera/ref/mtut2.html
Hope this will get you in the rigth direction

Best regards

Anders

To start with i want to thank you for the reference materials you have sent ...... then once i create my mechanism and load it in the \common files\cantera\data  . and try to run the mechanism ....... i am facing some error messages as follows ........... 

Error in ==> trans_get at 9
  v = ctmethods(50, n, job, a, b);

Error in ==> Transport.Transport at 23
  tr.id = trans_get(hndl(th), -1, tr.model, loglevel) ;

Error in ==> Solution.Solution at 40
tr = Transport(node,t,'default',4);

Error in ==> IdealGasMix at 39
       s = Solution(a);

Error in ==> equilheptane at 12
   gas = IdealGasMix('nHeptane.cti');


 i am trying to solve the equil (demo) for the heptane fuel ............. to find the NO concentration .
