Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG) is an automatic mechanism generation software developed by the Green Group at MIT (http://rmg.mit.edu/). The software can be used to generate chemical kinetic mechanisms for a wide range of chemical species by using inbuilt reaction networks and libraries. In the Green Group, RMG is extensively used to develop chemical kinetic mechanisms for combustion and chemical process applications.

In this course, you will learn about

      -  Visualizing the mechanism

      -  Model comparison

      -  Molecule search, kinetics search and others …

      -  How to cite RMG

      -  Github basics (how to update RMG, troubleshooting etc.)

      -  How to install RMG on your computer

Prerequisites: General background in chemistry, laptop required

Who should attend: Students/post-docs working on gas phase chemical kinetics. Students/postdocs interested in building chemical kinetic mechanisms for combustion and chemical process applications.

Duration: 2 hr
