Computer models that predict the maximum power of a chemical reaction

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Computer models can predict the maximum power of a chemical reaction, but this requires more than just a balanced chemical equation. The calculation of reaction heat is feasible if tabulated values for the enthalpies of formation are available. However, determining the power necessitates understanding the kinetics of the reaction, which involves complex kinetic models and specific parameters unique to each reaction. Thus, while heat can be calculated from the equation, power prediction demands a deeper analysis of reaction kinetics.

TL;DR
I want to know are there computer models out there that predict the maximum power of a chemical reaction
Given a balanced chemical equation, can we predict using computer models the maximum power of the chemical reaction?

Thanks.

What do you mean by "maximum power of the chemical reaction"? This is not standard chemical terminology.

The equation of the reaction is sufficient for the calculation of the reaction heat (if tabulated values for the enthalpies of formation are available). For the calculation of the power you also need the kinetics of the reaction. That is far more complicate because it cannot be calculated from the properties of the components only. Kinetic models and the corresponding parameters are specific for the reaction.
