/**
 * @defgroup thermoprops Thermodynamic Properties
 *
 * These classes are used to compute the thermodynamic properties of phases of matter.
 * The main base class for describing thermodynamic properties of phases within %Cantera
 * is called ThermoPhase. %ThermoPhase is a large class that describes the interface
 * within %Cantera to thermodynamic functions for a phase.
 *
 * ## Categorizing the Different ThermoPhase Objects
 *
 * ThermoPhase objects may be cataloged into four general bins.
 *
 * The first type are those whose underlying species have a reference state associated
 * with them. The reference state describes the thermodynamic functions for a species at
 * a single reference pressure, @f$ p_0 @f$. The thermodynamic functions are specified
 * via derived objects of the SpeciesThermoInterpType object class, and usually consist
 * of polynomials in temperature such as the NASA polynomial or the Shomate polynomial.
 * Calculators for these reference states, which manage the calculation for all of the
 * species in a phase, are all derived from the virtual base class
 * SpeciesThermoInterpType. Calculators are needed because the actual calculation of the
 * reference state thermodynamics has been shown to be relatively expensive. A great
 * deal of work has gone into devising efficient schemes for calculating the
 * thermodynamic polynomials of a set of species in a phase, in particular gas species
 * in ideal gas phases whose reference state thermodynamics is specified by NASA
 * polynomials.
 *
 * The reference state thermodynamics combined with the mixing rules and an assumption
 * about the pressure dependence yields the thermodynamic functions for the phase.
 * Expressions involving the specification of the fugacities of species would fall into
 * this category of %ThermoPhase objects. Note, however, that at this time, we do not
 * have any nontrivial examples of these types of phases. In general, the independent
 * variables that completely describe the state of the system  for this class are
 * temperature, the phase density, and @f$ N - 1 @f$ species mole or mass fractions.
 * Additionally, if the phase involves charged species, the phase electric potential is
 * an added independent variable. Examples of this first class of %ThermoPhase models,
 * which includes the IdealGasPhase object, the most commonly used object with %Cantera,
 * include:
 *
 * - IdealGasPhase
 * - StoichSubstance
 * - SurfPhase
 * - EdgePhase
 * - LatticePhase
 * - LatticeSolidPhase
 * - PureFluidPhase
 * - IdealSolidSolnPhase
 * - VPStandardStateTP
 *
 * The second class of objects are all derivatives of the VPStandardStateTP class listed
 * above. These classes assume that there exists a standard state for each species in
 * the phase, where the thermodynamic functions are specified as a function of
 * temperature and pressure. Standard state objects for each species are all derived
 * from the PDSS virtual base class. In turn, these standard states may employ reference
 * state calculation to aid in their calculations. However, there are some PDSS objects
 * which do not employ reference state calculations. An example of this is real equation
 * of state for liquid water used within the calculation of brine thermodynamics. In
 * general, the independent variables that completely describe the state of the system
 * for this class are temperature, the phase pressure, and @f$ N - 1 @f$ species mole or
 * mass fractions or molalities. The standard state thermodynamics combined with the
 * mixing rules yields the thermodynamic functions for the phase. Mixing rules are given
 * in terms of specifying the molar-base activity coefficients or activities. Lists of
 * phases which belong to this group are given below
 *
 * - IdealSolnGasVPSS
 * - MolalityVPSSTP
 *
 * Note, the ideal gas and ideal solution approximations are lumped together in the
 * class IdealSolnGasVPSS, because at this level they look alike having the same mixing
 * rules with respect to the specification of the excess thermodynamic properties.
 *
 * The third class of objects are all derivatives of the MolalityVPSSTP object. They
 * assume that the standard states are temperature and pressure dependent but they also
 * assume that the standard states are molality-based. In other words, they assume that
 * the standard state of the solute species are in a pseudo state of 1 molality but at
 * infinite dilution. A solvent must be specified in these calculations, defined as the
 * first species in the phase, and its standard state is the pure solvent state. Phases
 * which belong to this group include:
 *
 * - DebyeHuckel
 * - IdealMolalSoln
 * - HMWSoln
 *
 * The fourth class of %ThermoPhase objects are stoichiometric phases. Stoichiometric
 * phases are phases which consist of one and only one species. The class
 * SingleSpeciesTP is the base class for these substances. Within the class, the general
 * %ThermoPhase interface is dumbed down so that phases consisting of one species may be
 * succinctly described. These phases may have PDSS classes or SpeciesThermoInterpType
 * calculators associated with them. In general, the independent variables that
 * completely describe the state of the system for this class are temperature and either
 * the phase density or the phase pressure. Classes in this group include:
 *
 * - StoichSubstance
 * - WaterSSTP
 *
 * ## Creating ThermoPhase objects
 *
 * Instances of subclasses of ThermoPhase should be created using the factory methods
 * newThermo(const string&, const string&), newThermo(const AnyMap&, const AnyMap&), or
 * newThermoModel(). This allows new classes to be used with the various %Cantera
 * language interfaces.
 *
 * ## Defining new thermodynamic models
 *
 * To implement a new equation of state, derive a class from ThermoPhase or a relevant
 * existing derived class and overload the virtual methods in ThermoPhase. Methods that
 * are not needed can be left unimplemented, which will cause an exception to be thrown
 * if they are called.

/*!
 * Class ThermoPhase is the base class for the family of classes that represent
 * phases of matter of any type. It defines a common public interface, and
 * implements a few methods. Most of the methods, however, are declared virtual
 * and are meant to be overloaded in derived classes.  The standard way used
 * throughout %Cantera to compute properties of phases of matter is through
 * pointers of type `ThermoPhase*` that point to objects of subclasses of
 * ThermoPhase.
 *
 * Class ThermoPhase extends class Phase by adding methods to compute
 * thermodynamic properties in addition to the ones that are used to define the
 * state of a substance (temperature, density/pressure and composition). The
 * distinction is that the methods declared in ThermoPhase require knowing the
 * particular equation of state of the phase of interest, while those of class
 * Phase do not, since they only involve data values stored within the object.
 * These methods are then implemented by the classes derived from ThermoPhase to
 * represent a phase with a specific equation of state.
 *
 * ## Calculating and accessing thermodynamic properties
 *
 * The calculation of thermodynamic functions within %ThermoPhase is broken down roughly
 * into two or more steps. First, the standard state properties of all of the species
 * are calculated at the current temperature and at either the current pressure or at a
 * reference pressure. If the calculation is carried out at a reference pressure instead
 * of at the current pressure the calculation is called a "reference state properties"
 * calculation, just to make the distinction (even though it may be considered to be a
 * fixed-pressure standard-state calculation). The next step is to adjust the reference
 * state calculation to the current pressure. The thermodynamic functions then are
 * considered to be at the standard state of each species. Lastly the mixing
 * contributions are added to arrive at the thermodynamic functions for the solution.
 *
 * The %ThermoPhase class provides interfaces to thermodynamic properties calculated for
 * the reference state of each species, the standard state values for each species, the
 * thermodynamic functions for solution values, both on a per mole of solution basis
 * (such as ThermoPhase::enthalpy_mole()), on a per kg of solution basis, and on a
 * partial molar basis for each species (such as
 * ThermoPhase::getPartialMolarEnthalpies). At each level, functions for the enthalpy,
 * entropy, Gibbs free energy, internal energy, and volume are provided. So, 5 levels
 * (reference state, standard state, partial molar, per mole of solution, and per mass
 * of solution) and 5 functions multiplied together makes 25 possible functions. That's
 * why %ThermoPhase is such a large class.
 *
 * ## Setting the State of the phase
 *
 * Typically, the way the ThermoPhase object works is that there are a set of functions
 * that set the state of the phase via setting the internal independent variables. Then,
 * there are another set of functions that query the thermodynamic functions evaluated
 * at the current %State of the phase. Internally, most of the intermediate work
 * generally occurs at the point where the internal state of the system is set and not
 * at the time when individual thermodynamic functions are queried (though the actual
 * breakdown in work is dependent on the individual derived ThermoPhase object).
 * Therefore, for efficiency, the user should lump together queries of thermodynamic
 * functions after setting the state. Moreover, in setting the state, if the density is
 * the independent variable, the following order should be used:
 *
 * - Set the temperature
 * - Set the mole or mass fractions or set the molalities
 * - set the pressure.
 *
 * For classes which inherit from VPStandardStateTP, the above order may be used, or the
 * following order may be used. It's not important.
 *
 * - Set the temperature
 * - Set the pressure
 * - Set the mole or mass fractions or set the molalities
 *
 * See the @ref sec-thermophase-set-state "list of methods" that can be used to set
 * the complete state of ThermoPhase objects.
 *
 * ## Treatment of the phase potential and the electrochemical potential of a species
 *
 * The electrochemical potential of species k in a phase p, @f$ \zeta_k @f$, is related
 * to the chemical potential as:
 *
 * @f[
 *     \zeta_{k}(T,P) = \mu_{k}(T,P) + z_k \phi_p
 * @f]
 *
 * where @f$ \nu_k @f$ is the charge of species k, and @f$ \phi_p @f$ is the electric
 * potential of phase p.
 *
 * The potential @f$ \phi_p @f$ is tracked and internally stored within the base
 * ThermoPhase object. It constitutes a specification of the internal state of the
 * phase; it's the third state variable, the first two being temperature and density
 * (or, pressure, for incompressible equations of state). It may be set with the
 * function, setElectricPotential(), and may be queried with the function
 * electricPotential().
 *
 * Note, the overall electrochemical potential of a phase may not be changed by the
 * potential because many phases enforce charge neutrality:
 *
 * @f[
 *     0 = \sum_k z_k X_k
 * @f]
 *
 * Whether charge neutrality is necessary for a phase is also specified within the
 * ThermoPhase object, by the function call chargeNeutralityNecessary(). Note, that it
 * is not necessary for the ideal gas phase, currently. However, it is necessary for
 * liquid phases such as DebyeHuckel and HMWSoln for the proper specification of the
 * chemical potentials.
 *
 * This equation, when applied to the @f$ \zeta_k @f$ equation described above, results
 * in a zero net change in the effective Gibbs free energy of the phase. However,
 * specific charged species in the phase may increase or decrease their electrochemical
 * potentials, which will have an effect on interfacial reactions involving charged
 * species, when there is a potential drop between phases. This effect is used within
 * the InterfaceKinetics and EdgeKinetics classes.
 *
 * ## Specification of Activities and Activity Conventions
 *
 * The activity @f$ a_k @f$ and activity coefficient @f$ \gamma_k @f$ of a species in
 * solution is related to the chemical potential by
 *
 * @f[
 *   \mu_k = \mu_k^0(T,P) + \hat R T \ln a_k = \mu_k^0(T,P) + \hat R T \ln x_k \gamma_k
 * @f]
 *
 * The quantity @f$ \mu_k^0(T,P) @f$ is the standard chemical potential at unit
 * activity, which depends on the temperature and pressure, but not on the composition.
 * The activity is dimensionless. Within liquid electrolytes it's common to use a
 * molality convention, where solute species employ the molality-based activity
 * coefficients:
 *
 * @f[
 *   \mu_k =  \mu_k^\triangle(T,P) + R T \ln a_k^{\triangle} =
 *            \mu_k^\triangle(T,P) + R T \ln \frac{\gamma_k^{\triangle} m_k}{m^\triangle}
 * @f]
 *
 * And the solvent employs the convention
 * @f[
 *   \mu_o = \mu^o_o(T,P) + RT \ln a_o
 * @f]
 *
 * where @f$ a_o @f$ is often redefined in terms of the osmotic coefficient @f$ \phi
 * @f$:
 *
 * @f[
 *   \phi = \frac{- \ln a_o}{\tilde{M}_o \sum_{i \ne o} m_i}
 * @f]
 *
 * ThermoPhase classes which employ the molality based convention are all derived from
 * the MolalityVPSSTP class. See the class description for further information on its
 * capabilities.
 *
 * The activity convention used by a ThermoPhase object may be queried via the
 * activityConvention() function. A zero means molar based, while a one
 * means molality based.
 *
 * The function getActivities() returns a vector of activities. Whether these are
 * molar-based or molality-based depends on the value of activityConvention().
 *
 * The function getActivityCoefficients() always returns molar-based activity
 * coefficients regardless of the activity convention used. The function
 * MolalityVPSSTP::getMolalityActivityCoefficients() returns molality
 * based activity coefficients for those ThermoPhase objects derived
 * from the MolalityVPSSTP class. The function MolalityVPSSTP::osmoticCoefficient()
 * returns the osmotic coefficient.
 
 * ## Activity Concentrations: Relationship of ThermoPhase to Kinetics Expressions
 *
 * %Cantera can handle both thermodynamics and kinetics mechanisms. Reversible kinetics
 * mechanisms within %Cantera must be compatible with thermodynamics in the sense that
 * at equilibrium, or at infinite times, the concentrations of species must conform to
 * thermodynamics. This means that for every valid reversible kinetics reaction in a
 * mechanism, it must be reducible to an expression involving the ratio of the product
 * activity to the reactant activities being equal to the exponential of the
 * dimensionless standard state gibbs free energies of reaction. Irreversible kinetics
 * reactions do not have this requirement; however, their usage can yield unexpected and
 * inconsistent results in many situations.
 *
 * The actual units used in a kinetics expression depend on the context or the relative
 * field of study. For example, in gas phase kinetics, species in kinetics expressions
 * are expressed in terms of concentrations, for example, gmol cm-3. In solid phase
 * studies, however, kinetics is usually expressed in terms of unitless activities,
 * which most often equate to solid phase mole fractions. In order to accommodate
 * variability here, %Cantera has come up with the idea of activity concentrations,
 * @f$ C^a_k @f$. Activity concentrations are the expressions used directly in kinetics
 * expressions. These activity (or generalized) concentrations are used by kinetics
 * manager classes to compute the forward and reverse rates of elementary reactions.
 * Note that they may or may not have units of concentration --- they might be partial
 * pressures, mole fractions, or surface coverages, The activity concentrations for
 * species *k*, @f$ C^a_k @f$, are related to the activity for species *k*, @f$ a_k @f$,
 * via the expression:
 *
 * @f[
 *   a_k = C^a_k / C^0_k
 * @f]
 *
 * @f$ C^0_k @f$ are called standard concentrations. They serve as multiplicative
 * factors between the activities and the generalized concentrations. Standard
 * concentrations may be different for each species. They may depend on both the
 * temperature and the pressure. However, they may not depend on the composition of the
 * phase. For example, for the IdealGasPhase object the standard concentration is
 * defined as
 *
 * @f[
 *   C^0_k = \frac{P}{RT}
 * @f]
 *
 * while in many solid phase kinetics problems,
 *
 * @f[
 *   C^0_k = 1.0
 * @f]
 *
 * is employed making the units for activity concentrations in solids unitless.
 *
 * ThermoPhase member functions dealing with this concept include
 * getActivityConcentrations(), which provides a vector of the current activity
 * concentrations. The function standardConcentration() returns the standard
 * concentration of the kth species. The function logStandardConc(), returns the natural
 * log of the kth standard concentration. The function standardConcentrationUnits()
 * returns the units of the standard concentration.
 *
 * ### Equilibrium constants
 *
 * - @f$ K_a @f$ is the equilibrium constant defined in terms of the standard state
 *   Gibbs free energy values. It is by definition dimensionless.
 *
 * - @f$ K_p @f$ is the equilibrium constant defined in terms of the reference state
 *   Gibbs free energy values. It is by definition dimensionless. The pressure
 *   dependence is handled entirely on the RHS of the equilibrium expression.
 *
 * - @f$ K_c @f$ is the equilibrium constant defined in terms of the activity
 *   concentrations. The dimensions depend on the number of products and reactants.
 *
 * The kinetics manager requires the calculation of @f$ K_c @f$ for the calculation of
 * the reverse rate constant.
