Various codes are available to model the chemical kinetics of reactive systems, e. g. COSILAB, OpenSMOKE, Cantera, CHEMKIN, CHEMID and others. However no proper comparison is made between the performances of different codes for various cases. To assess and compare the performance of COSILAB and OpenSMOKE, we simulated different laminar combustion cases of CH4/Air and CH4/H2/Air mixtures with both codes using the GRI30 mechanism and compared the obtained results. For ignition delays and mole fraction profiles in 1D flames simulations similar results are found with COSILAB and OpenSMOKE. However the laminar flame speeds obtained with the two codes differ.
