The physical definition for the thermochemical nonequilibrium (NEMO) solvers is similar to the compressible solvers, but with additional parameters to specify. The free-stream values are not only used as boundary conditions for the `MARKER_FAR` option, but also for initialization and non-dimensionalization. That means even if you don't have any farfield BCs in your problem, it might be important to prescribe physically meaningful values for the options.

### Free-Stream Temperatures ###

Thermodynamic state is specified using the same options as the compressible solver, with the addition of the free-stream electronic temperature. This can be specified using the `FREESTREAM_TEMPERATURE_VE` option in the config file. For a free-stream in equilibrium, this is typically the same value as specified in the `FREESTREAM_TEMPERATURE` option.

The NEMO solvers require a specification of thermochemical nonequilibrium library using the `FLUID_MODEL` option, either `SU2_NONEQ` if using the SU2 built-in thermochemical library, or `MUTATIONPP` if using the Mutation++ thermochemical library.
