CHEMKIN HistoryCHEMKIN® arose out of Sandia's combustion research, which began at the Livermore, Calif., site in the aftermath of the 1970s oil crisis. Combustion research entails a wide variety of problems involving complex chemical interactions. Researchers needed a general purpose kinetics code to support theoretical modeling studies, and thus, CHEMKIN was born. A homegrown effort, the CHEMKIN family of software grew as researchers' needs and interests evolved with capabilities in molecular transport, chemistry at deposition surfaces and plasma processes gradually added to the initial core software. Because Combustion Research Facility scientists and engineers collaborate extensively with colleagues in industry and academia, word spread of the software and requests for it grew. By the mid-1990s, more than a thousand copies of CHEMKIN were in circulation worldwide. Although many of these versions remain in use today, redistribution by the initial recipients has never been authorized by Sandia. Recognizing the value of the software and the need for technical support and development, Sandia decided to license CHEMKIN to Reaction Design in February 1997.
