  2% EXAMPLE: HP - EFFECT OF PRESSURE
  3%
  4% Compute adiabatic temperature and equilibrium composition at constant
  5% pressure (e.g., 1 bar) for lean to rich natural gas-air mixtures at
  6% standard conditions, a set of equivalence ratios phi contained in
  7% (0.5, 3.5) [-], and two different sets of species "Complete" or "Incomplete"
  8% The incomplete combustion case is evaluated at different pressures to see
  9% Le Chatelier's principle, i.e., an increase of pressure shifts
 10% equilibrium to the side of the reaction with fewer number of moles of
 11% gas (higher pressures implie less dissociation). A comparison of the
 12% adiabatic flame temperature, adiabatic index, and Gibbs free energy is
 13% included.

 15% * Complete:
 16%       - lean = {'CO2', 'H2O', 'N2', 'Ar', 'O2'};                (equivalence ratio < 1)
 17%       - rich = {'CO2', 'H2O', 'N2', 'Ar', 'CO', 'H2'};          (equivalence ratio > 1)
 18%       - soot = {'N2', 'Ar', 'CO', 'H2', 'Cbgrb', 'CO2', 'H2O'}; (equivalence ratio > equivalence ratio soot)   
 19%
 20% * Incomplete:
 21%       - Soot formation == {'CO2','CO','H2O','H2','O2','N2','Ar','Cbgrb',...
 22%                            'C2','C2H4','CH','CH3','CH4','CN','H',...
 23%                            'HCN','HCO','N','NH','NH2','NH3','NO','O','OH'}
