This document describes how to use the MESA equation of state, opacity, and nuclear reaction networks outside of MESA.
1. Equation of State
cd my_eos
cp $MESA_DIR/eos/test/src/sample_eos.f90 .
Edit sample_eos.f90 and change the variable
my_mesa_dir = '../..'
to your $MESA_DIR, or use a blank string, in which case your $MESA_DIR is automagically used
my_mesa_dir = ''
while you are editing sample_eos.f90, take some time to explore the source code. Save and exit sample_eos.f90. Now take some time to explore the makefile, and use it to build the executable
make
Run the interactive executable, named sample_eos

For homework, edit sample_eos.f90 to write out \(\partial{T}/\partial{\rho}|_{S}\). As mentioned in sample_eos.f90, it can be useful to look at the integer indices contained in $MESA_DIR/eos/public/eos_def.f90.
2. Opacity
cd my_kap
cp $MESA_DIR/kap/test/src/sample_kap.f90 .
cp $MESA_DIR/kap/test/sample_kap_agb.model .
Edit sample_kap.f90 and change the variable
my_mesa_dir = '../..'
to your $MESA_DIR, or use a blank string, in which case your $MESA_DIR is automagically used
my_mesa_dir = ''
while you are editing sample_kap.f90, take some time to explore the source code. Save and exit sample_kap.f90. Now take some time to explore the makefile, and use it to build the executable
make
Run the executable, named sample_kap, whoech reads a mesa model file and writes out the opacity and its derivatives at each cell
./sample_kap
