About this technology

Overview

This is a modernization of the NASA CEA code (Chemical Equilibrium with Applications).The CEA program calculates chemical equilibrium product concentrations from any set of reactants and determines thermodynamic and transport properties for the product mixture. Built-in applications account for theoretical rocket performance, Chapman-Jouguet detonation parameters, shock-tube parameters, and combustion properties. Original LEW-17687-1
