In most engineering problems today, operating conditions and/or geometry are not constant values.  Temperature, pressure, and inlet conditions are just a few conditions that could vary in time and/or space. 

 

CHEMKIN-PRO provides a simple tool for creating, importing, and exporting profiles that can be used to describe these conditions.  Profiles can be created for most variables directly from the reactor input panel, or from Edit > Profiles on the menu bar.  If you already have profile data, this data (in comma-separated format) can be imported to create a new profile for use in CHEMKIN-PRO.  Once the profile has been created, you can select the Profile option instead of the Constant option for the desired variable in the reactor input panels.  Should you need to use this data outside of CHEMKIN-PRO, you can export it to a comma-separated text file.
