What are the Zero Kelvin enthalpies of CO2, CO, and H2O?

In summary, Engine Combustion Dynamics is the study of fuel combustion processes within an engine and their impact on engine performance and emissions. It is important for improving engine efficiency, reducing emissions, and diagnosing and solving engine problems. Factors such as fuel type, air-to-fuel ratio, engine design, and temperature and pressure conditions can affect Engine Combustion Dynamics. It is studied through a combination of experimental and computational methods, including engine testing and computer simulations. Current research areas in this field include developing alternative fuels, optimizing engine designs, and studying the effects of advanced engine technologies.

Hey there,
I am trying to model engine combustion dynamics on MatLab using basic physical laws. My code starts bugging just at the start of the Power Stroke. The pressure value shoots off to 60 bars right at the start. I tried narrowing down the error and I think i have a problem at the zero Kelvin enthalpy values of the constituents of the combustion mixture. Can anyone state here the Zero Kelvin enthalpies of CO2, CO and H2O.
P.S. I don't really understand the concept of Enthalpy at Zero Kelvin. Would appreciate if someone helps me there too. :)

Thanks!

The zero Kelvin enthalpies of CO2, CO and H2O are -393.51 kJ/mol, -110.53 kJ/mol and -241.82 kJ/mol, respectively. As for the concept of Enthalpy at Zero Kelvin, it is essentially the amount of energy contained in a substance at absolute zero temperature (where all motion ceases). Enthalpy at zero Kelvin is also known as the standard molar enthalpy of formation and it is used to calculate the energy change associated with a chemical reaction at constant pressure.
