fuellib.convert.epsilon_to_characteristic_temperature(epsilon_j_per_mol)

Convert Lennard-Jones epsilon from J/mol to characteristic temperature in Kelvin.

The characteristic temperature (epsilon/k_B) is used in transport property correlations and is required by combustion codes like CHEMKIN.

Uses the relation: T* = (epsilon_J/mol) / (N_A * k_B)

Parameters:

epsilon_j_per_mol (float) – Lennard-Jones well depth epsilon in J/mol.

Returns:

Characteristic temperature (epsilon/k_B) in Kelvin.

Return type:

float
