//! A simple thermodynamic model for a surface phase, assuming an ideal solution
//! model.
/*!
 * The surface consists of a grid of equivalent sites. Surface species may be
 * defined to occupy one or more sites. The surface species are assumed to be
 * independent, and thus the species form an ideal solution.
 *
 * The density of surface sites is given by the variable @f$ n_0 @f$,
 * which has SI units of kmol m-2.
 *
 * While the site coverage fractions @f$ \theta_k @f$ are generally used to describe the
 * composition of surface phases, %Cantera represents the state internally in terms of
 * mass fractions for consistency with other phase models. Mole fractions are computed
 * from coverages as:
 * @f[
 *     X_k = \frac{ \theta_k / s_k }{ \sum_i \theta_i / s_i }
 * @f]
 * where @f$ s_k @f$ is the number of sites occupied by species @f$ k @f$. Mass
 * fractions and the mean molecular weight are then computed in the typical manner.
 *
 * The mass density of a surface phase is defined to have units of kg/m². It is computed
 * as:
 * @f[
 *     \rho = \frac{ n_0 \overline{W} }{ \sum X_k s_k }
 * @f]
 *
 * ## Specification of Species Standard State Properties
 *
 * It is assumed that the reference state thermodynamics may be obtained by a
 * pointer to a populated species thermodynamic property manager class (see
 * ThermoPhase::m_spthermo). How to relate pressure changes to the reference
 * state thermodynamics is resolved at this level.
 *
 * Pressure is defined as an independent variable in this phase. However, it has
 * no effect on any quantities, as the molar concentration is a constant.
 *
 * Therefore, The standard state internal energy for species *k* is equal to the
 * enthalpy for species *k*.
 *
 * @f[
 *      u^o_k = h^o_k
 * @f]
 *
 * Also, the standard state chemical potentials, entropy, and heat capacities
 * are independent of pressure. The standard state Gibbs free energy is obtained
 * from the enthalpy and entropy functions.
 *
 * ## Specification of Solution Thermodynamic Properties
 *
 * The activity of species defined in the phase is given by
 * @f[
 *      a_k = \theta_k
 * @f]
 *
 * The chemical potential for species *k* is equal to
 * @f[
 *      \mu_k(T,P) = \mu^o_k(T) + R T \ln \theta_k
 * @f]
 *
 * Pressure is defined as an independent variable in this phase. However, it has
 * no effect on any quantities, as the molar concentration is a constant.
 *
 * The internal energy for species k is equal to the enthalpy for species *k*
 * @f[
 *      u_k = h_k
 * @f]
 *
 * The entropy for the phase is given by the following relation, which is
 * independent of the pressure:
 *
 * @f[
 *      s_k(T,P) = s^o_k(T) - R \ln \theta_k
 * @f]
 *
 * ## Application within Kinetics Managers
 *
 * The activity concentration,@f$  C^a_k @f$, used by the kinetics manager, is equal to
 * the actual concentration, @f$ C^s_k @f$, and is given as:
 * @f[
 *      C^a_k = C^s_k = \frac{\theta_k  n_0}{s_k}
 *            = \frac{\rho X_k}{\overline{W}} = \rho \frac{Y_k}{W_k}
 * @f]
 *
 * The standard concentration for species *k* is:
 * @f[
 *      C^0_k = \frac{n_0}{s_k}
 * @f]
 *
 * An example phase definition is given in the
 * [YAML API Reference](../yaml/phases.html#ideal-surface").
