SHELL: Double click on the "Access to TPEQUIL, HPFLAME and
UVFLAMESoftware" icon to start the interactive shell application
for the software onthis diskette. This application requires a
system running Microsoft Windows 95, 98 or higher, or Microsoft
Windows NT version 4.0 or higher (see ACCESSING SOFTWARE FROM DOS,
below, for systems with earlier operating systems).EXECUTABLE
MODULES: TPEQUIL.EXE, HPFLAME.EXE, UVFLAME2.EXE were compiled
usingMicrosoft Fortran PowerStation V1.00. All codes are based on
Olikara, C., and Borman, G. L., "A Computer Program for Calculating
Propertiesof Equilibrium Combustion Products with Some Applications
to I. C. Engines," SAE Paper 750468, 1975. *INPUT FILES: INPUT.TP,
INPUT.HP, INPUT.UV provide data input to the corresponding
applications (TPEQUIL.EXE, HPFLAME.EXE, and UVFLAME2.EXE) and are
edited using the interactive shell. After opening the "Access to
TPEQUIL,HPFLAME and UVFLAME Software" application, chose an input
file from theFile menu. In each file, all data are entered using
free format, i.e., integer, floating point, and exponential forms
are all allowed. Data are entered in the space preceeding the data
entry definition, which follows a slash. The data lines must be
maintained in the proper sequence.EXAMPLE: 3000.0 /TEMPERATURE
(K)After you have entered your data, click on the "Save & Run"
button to save your changes and to run the appropriate executable
module (TPEQUIL.EXE,HPFLAME.EXE, or UVFLAME2.EXE). NOTE: The files
INPUTARC.TP, INPUTARC.HP and INPUTARC.UV, are duplicatesof the
original input files and should be maintained as originals. These
files will allow you to confirm the input data format and the input
data line sequence. Do not modify these files. If you need to use
these files in place of the original input files, it will be
necessary to copy and rename them. OUTPUT FILES: OUTPUT.TP,
OUTPUT.HP, OUTPUT.UV containing the program output,are generated
upon execution of the corresponding application. After clickingthe
"Save & Run" button in the interface shell, the appropriate
file is openedin a window. This data can be selected using the
mouse and copied to the Windows clipboard by choosing Copy under
the Edit menu. It can then bepasted into another program, such as a
spreadsheet application, using that application's Paste
command.FORTRAN SOURCE CODES: TPEQUIL.FOR, HVFLAME2.FOR,
UVFLAME.FOR are text filesand may be viewed using a text editor
such as the Windows Notepad application. The codes may also be
edited using a text editor and recompiled with any standard Fortran
77 compiler.GPROP.DAT is the thermodynamic property data file. It
too can be listed andmodified using a text editor such as
Notepad.ACCESSING SOFTWARE FROM DOS: The input files, output files,
and fortransources can be modified using the DOS Editor, which is
invoked by typingEDIT FILENAME.EXT at the DOS prompt. Position the
cursor over the data you want to change and simply enter the
changes. Save the file. Press F1 for Help or refer to your DOS
manual for further instructions.The executable modules TPEQUIL.EXE,
UVFLAME2.EXE, and HPFLAME.EXE can beinvoked by typing their
filename at the DOS prompt. The output files canthen be viewed or
printed using the DOS Editor.* The imbedded codes, with
modifications, are used with permission of theSociety of Automotive
