 mu Chemical potential vector. Length = num global species. Units = J/kmol.

Referenced by vcs_MultiPhaseEquil::determine_PhaseStability().

 void getValidChemPotentials ( doublereal not_mu, doublereal * mu, bool standard = false ) const
inherited

Returns a vector of Valid chemical potentials.

Write into array mu the chemical potentials of all species with thermo data valid for the current temperature [J/kmol]. For other species, set the chemical potential to the value not_mu. If standard is set to true, then the values returned are standard chemical potentials.

This method is designed for use in computing chemical equilibrium by Gibbs minimization. For solution phases (more than one species), this does the same thing as getChemPotentials. But for stoichiometric phases, this writes into array mu the user-specified value not_mu instead of the chemical potential if the temperature is outside the range for which the thermo data for the one species in the phase are valid. The need for this arises since many condensed phases have thermo data fit only for the temperature range for which they are stable. For example, in the NASA database, the fits for H2O(s) are only done up to 0 C, the fits for H2O(L) are only done from 0 C to 100 C, etc. Using the polynomial fits outside the range for which the fits were done can result in spurious chemical potentials, and can lead to condensed phases appearing when in fact they should be absent.

By setting not_mu to a large positive value, it is possible to force routines which seek to minimize the Gibbs free energy of the mixture to zero out any phases outside the temperature range for which their thermo data are valid.

Parameters
 not_mu Value of the chemical potential to set species in phases, for which the thermo data is not valid mu Vector of chemical potentials length = Global species, units = J kmol-1 standard If this method is called with standard set to true, then the composition-independent standard chemical potentials are returned instead of the composition-dependent chemical potentials.

Query the underlying ThermoPhase objects for their mole fractions and fill in the mole fraction vector of this current object. Adjust element compositions within this object to match.
