We present a physics-constrained machine learning framework for accelerating the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent reacting flows. The model replaces the direct evaluation of detailed chemical source terms with a surrogate that predicts reaction rates from a reduced thermochemical state. To improve physical consistency, the second law of thermodynamics is incorporated as a training constraint by enforcing non-negative entropy generation, which restricts the evolution of the thermochemical state to physically admissible directions and improves stability during time integration. The
