aachenBomb Tutorial

Hello everyone,
sorry for the question but I'm a beginner with the use of openFoam. I need to run a simulation on aachenBomb's tutorial by switching fuel from heptane to dodecane and deactivating the chemistry (non reacting simulation).
Is there anyone who can explain to me how to do it?
I have seen the chem.inp and therm.dat files in the chemkin folder referring to heptane but I don't know how to find the same ones related to dodecane.
Thank you in advance
