Burcat [ Thermochemical Data for Combustion Calculations, in Combustion Chemistry. (W. C. Gardiner, Jr., ed.), Chapter 8. John Wiley Sons, New York, 1984] discusses in detail the various sources of thermochemical data and their adaptation for computer usage. Examples of thermochemical data tit to polynomials for use in computer calculations are reported by McBride, B. J Gordon, S., and Reno, M. A., Coefficients for Calculating Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Individual Species, NASA, NASA Langley, VA, NASA Technical Memorandum 4513, 1993, and by Kee, R. J., Rupley, F. M and Miller, J. A., The Chemkin Thermodynamic Data Base, Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, CA, Sandia Technical Report SAND87-8215B, 1987. 

FITDAT Kee, R. J., Rupley, F. and Miller, J. A. Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, CA 94550. A Fortran computer code (fitdat.f) that is part of the CHEMKIN package for fitting of species thermodynamic data (cp, h, s) to polynomials in NASA format for usage in computer programs. 

MECHMOD A utility program written by Turanyi, T. (Eotvos University, Budapest, Hungary) that manipulates reaction mechanisms to convert rate parameters from one unit to another, to calculate reverse rate parameters from the forward rate constant parameters and thermodynamic data, or to systematically eliminate select species from the mechanism. Thermodynamic data can be printed at the beginning of the mechanism, and the room-temperature heat of formation and entropy data may be modified in the NASA polynomials. MECHMOD requires the usage of either CHEMK1N-TT or CHEMKIN-III software. Details of the software may be obtained at either of two websites http //www.chem.leeds.ac.uk/Combustion/Combustion.html or http //garfield. chem.elte.hu/Combustion/Combustion. html. 

The use of simple polynomial expressions for temperature prtffiles does not in itself impose any saious restrictions on the method. Sudi profiles have been in common usage in many integral transfer methods and also play a vital part in the variational approadi described below. Hardee s two papers do not bring out the structure of the arguments and lack aesthetic appeal. In the temperature polynomial diosen, terms in odd powers of the co-ordinate appear in situations where symmetry demands that they vanish, and although the method appears superficially simple it requires a substantial amount of tedious calculation. On the credit side, the Arrhenius expression is used without the simplification e = 0. 

By setting the future battery usage conditions such as temperature of operation and charge-discharge patterns, the equations obtained in the second stage can be used to approximate how current dQdV parameters change into the future. Once the future parameters are estimated, the polynomials from the first stage (Fig. 3) are used to deduce the future cell performance.
