Detailed Description

Base class for stirred reactors.

Allows using any substance model, with arbitrary inflow, outflow, heat loss/gain, surface chemistry, and volume change.

Definition at line 28 of file ReactorBase.h.

Member Function Documentation

void setInitialVolume ( doublereal vol )

inline

Set the initial reactor volume.

By default, the volume is 1.0 m^3.

Definition at line 56 of file ReactorBase.h.

void setInitialTime ( doublereal time )

inline

Set initial time.

Default = 0.0 s. Restarts integration from this time using the current mixture state as the initial condition.

Definition at line 66 of file ReactorBase.h.

References ReactorBase::time().

void setThermoMgr ( thermo_t & thermo )

Specify the mixture contained in the reactor.

Note that a pointer to this substance is stored, and as the integration proceeds, the state of the substance is modified.

Definition at line 40 of file ReactorBase.cpp.

References ThermoPhase::enthalpy_mass(), ThermoPhase::intEnergy_mass(), ReactorBase::m_nsp, Phase::nSpecies(), ThermoPhase::pressure(), and Phase::saveState().

Referenced by Reactor::insert().

virtual void initialize ( doublereal t0 = 0.0 )

inlinevirtual

Initialize the reactor.

Must be called after specifying the (and if necessary the inlet mixture) and before calling advance.

Reimplemented in Reactor, ConstPressureReactor, and FlowReactor.

Definition at line 101 of file ReactorBase.h.

virtual void advance ( doublereal time )

inlinevirtual

Advance the state of the reactor in time.

Parameters

time	Time to advance to (s). Note that this method changes the state of the mixture object.

Definition at line 111 of file ReactorBase.h.

thermo_t& contents ( )

inline

return a reference to the contents.

Definition at line 125 of file ReactorBase.h.

doublereal time ( ) const

inline

the current time (s).

Definition at line 144 of file ReactorBase.h.

Referenced by ReactorBase::setInitialTime().

doublereal volume ( ) const

inline

Returns the current volume of the reactor.

Returns: Return the volume in m**3

Definition at line 153 of file ReactorBase.h.
