Contrib/Janaf
OpenFOAM uses the old janaf tables from which the temperature dependent values of Cp, H and S are valuated. Therfor the old janaf format uses 7 coefficients and 2 polynomals for a lower and a higher temperature range. The old janaf tables are valid for temperatures up to 6000 K.
Cp(T) = R( a[1] + a[2]T + a[3]T^2 + a[4]T^3 + a[5]T^4 )
H(T) = R( a[1]T + (a[2]T^2)/2 + (a[3]T^3)/3 + (a[4]T^4)/4 + (a[5]T^5)/5 + a[6] )
S(T) = R( a[1] lnT + a[2]T + (a[3]T^2)/2 + (a[4]T^3)/3 + (a[5]T^4)/4 + a[7] )

The old janaf model is implemented in the application "dieselFoam" and can be tested in the test case "aachenBomb"
For some application this temperature range is not sufficient (e.g. plasma)
