Rocket Propulsion Fall 2005

You can download the necessary files to run the program here:

The executable is called fcea2.exe. Thermo.lib and trans.lib are libraries that are needed to run the code. thermo.inp is a text file that contains all of the species currently available in the code. cea2.inp is an input file with a variety of sample problems outlined.

To run the code, just click on the executable and it will open up a .dos shell. The program will prompt you for an input data file. Type in the file name, without an extention. The program will generate an output file name called <filename.out>.

For more information and to download the code directly from NASA visit the NASA CEA Website:
