CHEMKIN

CHEMKIN is a proprietary software tool for solving complex chemical kinetics problems. It is used worldwide in the combustion,^[1] chemical processing,^[2] microelectronics^{[citation needed]} and automotive^{[citation needed]} industries, and also in atmospheric science.^[3] It was originally developed at Sandia National Laboratories and is now developed by a US company, Reaction Design.

Reaction Design was acquired by ANSYS in 2014 so Chemkin and related products are now available through ANSYS.^[4]
