“…Thermo-physical gas properties Thermo-physical gas properties are calculated based on the thermodynamic data in the JANAF tables [54] and Burcat's Thermodynamic Database [55], along with a 15-species equilibrium model. This approach avoids potential shortcomings associated with simple correlations for specific heat ratio, c, commonly used in heat release analysis [11,12,16,[56][57][58][59]. The species included in the gas properties routines are: H, O, N, H 2 , OH, CO, NO, O 2 , H 2 O, CO 2 , N 2 , Ar, NO 2 , HO 2 and fuel.…”
