Hello All,
I am trying to solve Niklas Nordin case for diesel engine simulation. I am getting this strange error

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword C7H16 is undefined in dictionary ""

file:

From function Foam::dictionary& Foam::dictionary::subDict(const Foam::word&)
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 659.

FOAM exiting

Can anybody suggest me what I am missing.

I have looked into chem.inp and therm.dat files, They are same as AachenBomb tutorial case. I think the problem is somewhere in thermophysicalProperties file. I am posting that file here.
