Detailed Description

Zero-dimensional objects representing stirred reactors.

Reactors simulate time-dependent behavior considering gas-phase chemistry. Reactor objects should be instantiated via the newReactor() function, for example:

shared_ptr<ReactorBase> r1 = newReactor("IdealGasReactor");

Function Documentation

newReactorBase()

shared_ptr< ReactorBase > newReactorBase	(	const string &	model,
		shared_ptr< Solution >	contents,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a ReactorBase object of the specified type and contents.

Since

New in Cantera 3.2.

Definition at line 100 of file ReactorFactory.cpp.

newReactor()

shared_ptr< ReactorBase > newReactor	(	const string &	model,
		shared_ptr< Solution >	contents,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a Reactor object of the specified type and contents.

Since

Starting in Cantera 3.1, this method requires a valid Solution object and returns a shared_ptr<ReactorBase> instead of a ReactorBase*.

Deprecated:

Behavior changes after Cantera 3.2, when a shared_ptr<Reactor> will be returned. For new behavior, see newReactor4.

Definition at line 107 of file ReactorFactory.cpp.

newReactor4()

shared_ptr< Reactor > newReactor4	(	const string &	model,
		shared_ptr< Solution >	contents,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a Reactor object of the specified type and contents.

Since

New in Cantera 3.2. Transitional method returning a Reactor object.

Definition at line 115 of file ReactorFactory.cpp.

newReservoir()

shared_ptr< Reservoir > newReservoir	(	shared_ptr< Solution >	contents,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a Reservoir object with the specified contents.

Since

New in Cantera 3.2.
