Hello All,
I am currently attempting to calculate the chemical Jacobian for chemical explosive mode analysis. I have been using net_production_rate_ddCi and _ddT, but am confused on the structure for the ddCi array. I was wondering if anyone knows that the rows and columns are? I have been working with the assumption that rows are the production rate species (w_i) and columns are the species of differentiation (c_j) for (dw_i / dc_j). Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day. 

Best,
Nolan Dexter

Hi Nolan,

Your assumption is correct. These matrices have the conventional Jacobian structure, where J_ij = dw_i / dc_j.

Regards,
Ray
