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.   The setpath.bat, setpath.csh, and setpath.sh in the sample folder may be usefull for this purpose.   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
