Followings are examples of the usage of thermNASA tools for listing thermodynamic functions in convensional formats.

Preparation

1. Build thermNASA from source files or unpack pre-built binaries for Windows according to the instructions in Installation section.
2. Set PATH to the directory where thermNASA executables reside.   Then, change directory to the thermNASA/sample.
3. Alternatively, if you found any difficulty in setting PATH, copy all thermNASA executables (in thermNASA-win32-binary) and all sample files (in thermNASA/sample) to the current directory.

List thermodynamic data in THERM list format

1. Execute thermList for dataCK.dat by typing:
   thermList dataCK.dat
2. A file dataCK.lst must have been created in the current directory, and its contents should be like:

3. This is probably the simplest way to check the basic thermodynamic properties such as heats of formation for a number of species.

List thermodynamic data in PAC99 input format

1. Execute thermLi97 for dataCK.dat by typing:
   therLi97 dataCK.dat
2. A file dataCK.i97 must have been created in the current directory, and its contents should be like:

Using new 9-coefficients thermodynamic data

1. New 9-coefficients data can be used similarly, but by explicitly specifying the '-new' option.
   thermList dataCEA2.inp -new
   thermLi97 dataCEA2.inp -new
