Hello,

I am wondering, if it is possible to define a reactor network in Chemkin using an input file. For example I would like to create a reactor network with 20  reactors and many connections between them . If I would do it by hand it would take ages and there would be errors for sure. Is there a possibility to define the whole network using files which define the temperatures, volumes, pressures, mass flows, etc.?

Hi:

I don't think this is possible, since there is no way to read input files without having a project. Clustering reactors allows you to enter a lot of properties for all reactors in a cluster at once, however.  Defining clusters is outlined here in the Chemkin Getting Started Guide:
