Programs (thermpac and pac99m) alternative to THERMFIT were added. These enable seamless execution on 64-bit Windows or UNIX/BSD/Linux.

KUCRS-20050518bf3
A bug-fix release of KUCRS-20050518.
[Changes from 20050518]
- Inadequate molecular names in molecular library
(
libdata/mol_main.dat
) were corrected. (bf1) DOSXMSF.EXE
, which is required to executeTHERMFIT.EXE
, was added in the binary distribution. (bf1)run_comb_nodel.bat
was added in the distribution. This is batch file similar torun_comb.bat
but leaves all intermediate files undeleted. This may be useful to resolve unexpected problems during the execution of KUCRS modules. (bf1)- Fixed a problem that no sebsequent oxidation processes of cyclic ethers in which O atom is bonded to two tertiary carbons, and these ether species are left as dead-ends. (bf2)
- Expelled out some tuning parameters into
rxn_tune.dat
. (bf3)
KUCRS-20050518
This is the first public beta-distribution of KUCRS.
[Changes from 20040815]
- The single-ring alkane fuel feature first appeared in this release. No essential change was made to non-cyclic alkane part except for minor bug-fix.
- Molecular naming was improved to represent molecules better,
e.g.,
'C6H13O4a'
→'HOOC6H12OOa'
etc. - The restriction for input file name (4-characters max) was removed.
