Set up of Flame Speed calculation with CHEMKIN-PRO! 

Let CHEMKIN-PRO do the work for you! Simply use the Automatic Temperature Profile option on the Reactor Physical Properties panel. This option will estimate the initial temperature profile from equilibrium condition. If you select the Automatic Temperature Profile option, you will NOT need to specify a location for the fixed flame, an estimated zone width, the flame center position, nor will you need to create your own initial temperature profile.
