Runs Cantera homogeneous chemical reactors and evaluates ignition delay with mechanism provenance, conservation checks, and numerical refinement. Use for combustion kinetics, closed adiabatic ideal-gas constant-volume or constant-pressure ignition, temperature histories, or mechanism-specific ignition-delay comparisons.

# Cantera: homogeneous ignition calculations

## When to use

Use for a closed, adiabatic, homogeneous ideal-gas reactor with a known kinetic mechanism,
initial temperature, pressure, and mole composition. The bundled helper runs both constant
volume and constant pressure cases and reports a precisely defined temperature-based delay.
It is not a flame solver or a general reactor-network builder.

A calculation completing successfully establishes numerical execution, not mechanism
validity for the fuel, pressure, temperature, diluent, or measured ignition observable.
Read [references/interpretation.md](references/interpretation.md) when choosing a mechanism,
comparing experiments, or interpreting unresolved/two-stage ignition.
