Detailed Description

The 4-parameter Troe falloff parameterization.

The falloff function defines the value of \( F \) in the following rate expression

\[ k = k_{\infty} \left( \frac{P_r}{1 + P_r} \right) F \]

where

\[ P_r = \frac{k_0 [M]}{k_{\infty}} \]

This parameterization is defined by

\[ F = F_{cent}^{1/(1 + f_1^2)} \]

where

\[ F_{cent} = (1 - A)\exp(-T/T_3) + A \exp(-T/T_1) + \exp(-T_2/T) \]

\[ f_1 = (\log_{10} P_r + C) / \left(N - 0.14 (\log_{10} P_r + C)\right) \]

\[ C = -0.4 - 0.67 \log_{10} F_{cent} \]

\[ N = 0.75 - 1.27 \log_{10} F_{cent} \]

virtual doublereal F ( doublereal  pr,
const doublereal *  work

inlinevirtual

The falloff function.

This is defined so that the rate coefficient is

\[ k = F(Pr)\frac{Pr}{1 + Pr}. \]

Here \( Pr \) is the reduced pressure, defined by

\[ Pr = \frac{k_0 [M]}{k_\infty}. \]

Parameters
prreduced pressure (dimensionless).
workarray of size workSize() containing cached temperature-dependent intermediate results from a prior call to updateTemp.
Returns
Returns the value of the falloff function \( F \) defined above

virtual size_t workSize ( )
