Among the most important combustion properties of a fuel are the combustion products, flame temperature and laminar burning velocity. Therefore, this paper describes the step-by-step development and coding of a MATLAB application that can determine 12 combustion products, flame temperature and laminar burning velocity in order to understand the logic of calculus procedure, so any user would be able to make improvements of new functionalities (add more fuels, add more combustion products, etc.). The numerical procedure and methods (Gaussian elimination, Taylor Series and Newton\u2013Raphson) parallel with their implementation as code lines for the development of the application are carried out using flow charts. In addition, simulations in Ansys Chemkin were performed and included in the application as part of the results comparison. It was found that: (1) The MATLAB Application codification and development were successfully explained in detail, (2) the functions and execution sequence are described by using flow charts and code extract, (3) the application is available to everyone for modifications, (4) the application can only be used for hydrocarbons fuels, (5) the application execution time registered was less than 8 s.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation12090189","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]],"date-time":"2024-09-16T07:36:00Z","timestamp":1726472160000},"page":"189","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["MATLAB Application for Determination of 12 Combustion Products, Adiabatic Temperature and Laminar Burning Velocity: Development, Coding and Explanation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3176-149X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto Franco","family":"Cisneros","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica del Per\u00fa, Lima 15088, Peru"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3338-0877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Freddy Jesus","family":"Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica del Per\u00fa, Lima 15088, Peru"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1537","DOI":"10.1016\/S0082-0784(89)80164-X","article-title":"Experimental and numerical determination of laminar flame speeds of methane\/(Ar, N2, CO2)-air mixtures as function of stoichiometry, pressure, and flame temperature","volume":"22","author":"Zhu","year":"1989","journal-title":"Symp.
