Detailed Description

This is the main structure used to hold the internal data used in vcs_solve_TP(), and to solve TP systems.

The indices of information in this structure may change when the species basis changes or when phases pop in and out of existence. Both of these operations change the species ordering.

Definition at line 50 of file vcs_solve.h.

Member Function Documentation

void vcs_initSizes ( const size_t  nspecies0,
const size_t  nelements,
const size_t  nphase0 
)

Initialize the sizes within the VCS_SOLVE object.

This resizes all of the internal arrays within the object. This routine operates in two modes. If all of the parameters are the same as it currently exists in the object, nothing is done by this routine; a quick exit is carried out and all of the data in the object persists.

If any of the parameters are different than currently exists in the object, then all of the data in the object must be redone. It may not be zeroed, but it must be redone.

Parameters
nspecies0Number of species within the object
nelementsNumber of element constraints within the problem
nphase0Number of phases defined within the problem.

ifuncDetermines the operation to be done: Valid values: 0 -> Solve a new problem by initializing structures first. An initial estimate may or may not have been already determined. This is indicated in the VCS_PROB structure. 1 -> The problem has already been initialized and set up. We call this routine to resolve it using the problem statement and solution estimate contained in the VCS_PROB structure. 2 -> Don't solve a problem. Destroy all the private structures.
iprPrinting of results ipr = 1 -> Print problem statement and final results to standard output 0 -> don't report on anything
ip1Printing of intermediate results IP1 = 1 -> Print intermediate results.
maxitMaximum number of iterations for the algorithm

Output:

int vcs_solve_TP ( int  print_lvl,
int  printDetails,
int  maxit 
)

Main routine that solves for equilibrium at constant T and P using a variant of the VCS method.

This is the main routine that solves for equilibrium at constant T and P using a variant of the VCS method. Nonideal phases can be accommodated as well.

Any number of single-species phases and multi-species phases can be handled by the present version.

Parameters
print_lvl1 -> Print results to standard output; 0 -> don't report on anything
printDetails1 -> Print intermediate results.
maxitMaximum number of iterations for the algorithm
Returns
  • 0 = Equilibrium Achieved
  • 1 = Range space error encountered. The element abundance criteria are only partially satisfied. Specifically, the first NC= (number of components) conditions are satisfied. However, the full NE (number of elements) conditions are not satisfied. The equilibrium condition is returned.
  • -1 = Maximum number of iterations is exceeded. Convergence was not found.

void vcs_reinsert_deleted ( size_t  kspec)

We make decisions on the initial mole number, and major-minor status here. We also fix up the total moles in a phase.

irxn = id of the noncomponent species formation reaction for the species to be added in.

The algorithm proceeds to implement these decisions in the previous position of the species. Then, vcs_switch_pos is called to move the species into the last active species slot, incrementing the number of active species at the same time.

This routine is responsible for the global data manipulation only.

int vcs_basopt ( const bool  doJustComponents,
double  aw[],
double  sa[],
double  sm[],
double  ss[],
double  test,
bool *const  usedZeroedSpecies 
)

Choose the optimum species basis for the calculations.

This is done by choosing the species with the largest mole fraction not currently a linear combination of the previous components. Then, calculate the stoichiometric coefficient matrix for that basis.

Rearranges the solution data to put the component data at the front of the species list.

Then, calculates m_stoichCoeffRxnMatrix[irxn][jcomp] the formation reactions for all noncomponent species in the mechanism. Also calculates DNG(I) and DNL(I), the net mole change for each formation reaction. Also, initializes IR(I) to the default state.

Parameters
[in]doJustComponentsIf true, the m_stoichCoeffRxnMatrix[][] and m_deltaMolNumPhase[] are not calculated.
[in]awVector of mole fractions which will be used to construct an optimal basis from.
[in]saGram-Schmidt orthog work space (nc in length) sa[j]
[in]ssGram-Schmidt orthog work space (nc in length) ss[j]
[in]smQR matrix work space (nc*ne in length) sm[i+j*ne]
[in]testThis is a small negative number dependent upon whether an estimate is supplied or not.
[out]usedZeroedSpeciesIf true, then a species with a zero concentration was used as a component. The problem may be converged. Or, the problem may have a range space error and may not have a proper solution.
Returns
Returns VCS_SUCCESS if everything went ok. Returns VCS_FAILED_CONVERGENCE if there is a problem.

Internal Variables calculated by this routine:

  • m_numComponents: Number of component species. This routine calculates the m_numComponents species. It switches their positions in the species vector so that they occupy the first m_numComponents spots in the species vector.
  • m_stoichCoeffRxnMatrix[irxn][jcomp] Stoichiometric coefficient matrix for the reaction mechanism expressed in Reduced Canonical Form. jcomp refers to the component number, and irxn refers to the irxn_th non-component species.
  • m_deltaMolNumPhase[irxn]: Change in the number of total number of moles of species in all phases due to the noncomponent formation reaction, irxn.
  • m_deltaMolNumPhase[irxn][iphase]: Change in the number of moles in phase, iphase, due to the noncomponent formation reaction, irxn.
  • m_phaseParticipation[irxn]: This is 1 if the phase, iphase, participates in the formation reaction, irxn, and zero otherwise.

bool vcs_evaluate_speciesType ( )

This routine evaluates the species type for all species.

  • VCS_SPECIES_MAJOR: Major species
  • VCS_SPECIES_MINOR: Minor species
  • VCS_SPECIES_SMALLMS: The species lies in a multicomponent phase that exists. Its concentration is currently very low, necessitating a different method of calculation.
  • VCS_SPECIES_ZEROEDMS: The species lies in a multicomponent phase which currently doesn't exist. Its concentration is currently zero.
  • VCS_SPECIES_ZEROEDSS: Species lies in a single-species phase which is currently zeroed out.
  • VCS_SPECIES_DELETED: Species has such a small mole fraction it is deleted even though its phase may possibly exist. The species is believed to have such a small mole fraction that it best to throw the calculation of it out. It will be added back in at the end of the calculation.
  • VCS_SPECIES_INTERFACIALVOLTAGE: Species refers to an electron in the metal The unknown is equal to the interfacial voltage drop across the interface on the SHE (standard hydrogen electrode) scale (volts).
  • VCS_SPECIES_ZEROEDPHASE: Species lies in a multicomponent phase that is zeroed atm and will stay deleted due to a choice from a higher level. These species will formally always have zero mole numbers in the solution vector.
  • VCS_SPECIES_ACTIVEBUTZERO: The species lies in a multicomponent phase which currently does exist. Its concentration is currently identically zero, though the phase exists. Note, this is a temporary condition that exists at the start of an equilibrium problem. The species is soon "birthed" or "deleted".
  • VCS_SPECIES_STOICHZERO: The species lies in a multicomponent phase which currently does exist. Its concentration is currently identically zero, though the phase exists. This is a permanent condition due to stoich constraints

We calculate the dimensionless chemical potentials of all species in a single phase.

Note, for multispecies phases which are currently zeroed out, the chemical potential is filled out with the standard chemical potential.

For species in multispecies phases whose concentration is zero, we need to set the mole fraction to a very low value. Its chemical potential is then calculated using the VCS_DELETE_MINORSPECIES_CUTOFF concentration to keep numbers positive.

Formula:

Ideal Mixtures:

 m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I) + ln(z(I)) - ln(m_tPhaseMoles[iph])
                + m_chargeSpecies[I] * Faraday_dim * m_phasePhi[iphase];

(This is equivalent to the adding the log of the mole fraction onto the standard chemical potential. )

Non-Ideal Mixtures:

ActivityConvention = 0: molarity activity formulation

m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I)
               + ln(ActCoeff[I] * z(I)) - ln(m_tPhaseMoles[iph])
               + m_chargeSpecies[I] * Faraday_dim * m_phasePhi[iphase];

( This is equivalent to the adding the log of the mole fraction multiplied by the activity coefficient onto the standard chemical potential. )

ActivityConvention = 1: molality activity formulation

m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I)
                 + ln(ActCoeff[I] * z(I)) - ln(m_tPhaseMoles[iph])
                 - ln(Mnaught * m_units)
                 + m_chargeSpecies[I] * Faraday_dim * m_phasePhi[iphase];

Note: m_SSfeSpecies(I) is the molality based standard state. However, ActCoeff[I] is the molar based activity coefficient We have used the formulas:

ActCoeff_M[I] =  ActCoeff[I] / Xmol[N]

where Xmol[N] is the mole fraction of the solvent and ActCoeff_M[I] is the molality based act coeff.

Note: This is equivalent to the "normal" molality formulation:

m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I)
               + ln(ActCoeff_M[I] * m(I))
               + m_chargeSpecies[I] * Faraday_dim * m_phasePhi[iphase]

where m[I] is the molality of the ith solute

m[I] = Xmol[I] / ( Xmol[N] * Mnaught * m_units)

z(I)/tPhMoles_ptr[iph] = Xmol[i] is the mole fraction of i in the phase.

NOTE: As per the discussion in vcs_dfe(), for small species where the mole fraction is small:

z(i) < VCS_DELETE_MINORSPECIES_CUTOFF

The chemical potential is calculated as:

m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I)
               + ln(ActCoeff[i](VCS_DELETE_MINORSPECIES_CUTOFF))
Parameters
[in]iphPhase to be calculated
[in]molNum(i)Number of moles of species i (VCS species order)
[out]acActivity coefficients for species in phase (VCS species order)
[out]mu_iDimensionless chemical potentials for phase species (VCS species order)

void vcs_dfe ( const int  stateCalc,
const int  ll,
const size_t  lbot,
const size_t  ltop 
)

Calculate the dimensionless chemical potentials of all species or of certain groups of species, at a fixed temperature and pressure.

We calculate the dimensionless chemical potentials of all species or certain groups of species here, at a fixed temperature and pressure, for the input mole vector z[] in the parameter list. Nondimensionalization is achieved by division by RT.

Note, for multispecies phases which are currently zeroed out, the chemical potential is filled out with the standard chemical potential.

For species in multispecies phases whose concentration is zero, we need to set the mole fraction to a very low value. Its chemical potential is then calculated using the VCS_DELETE_MINORSPECIES_CUTOFF concentration to keep numbers positive.

For formulas, see vcs_chemPotPhase().

Handling of Small Species:

As per the discussion above, for small species where the mole fraction

z(i) < VCS_DELETE_MINORSPECIES_CUTOFF

The chemical potential is calculated as:

 m_feSpecies(I)(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I) + ln(ActCoeff[i](VCS_DELETE_MINORSPECIES_CUTOFF))

Species in the following categories are treated as "small species"

For species in multispecies phases which are currently not active, the treatment is different. These species are in the following species categories:

For these species, the ln( ActCoeff[I] X[I]) term is dropped altogether. The following equation is used:

m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I)
               + Charge[I] * Faraday_dim * phasePhi[iphase];

Handling of "Species" Representing Interfacial Voltages

These species have species types of VCS_SPECIES_TYPE_INTERFACIALVOLTAGE The chemical potentials for these "species" refer to electrons in metal electrodes. They have the following formula

m_feSpecies(I) = m_SSfeSpecies(I) - F z[I] / RT
  • F is Faraday's constant.
  • R = gas constant
  • T = temperature
  • V = potential of the interface = phi_electrode - phi_solution

For these species, the solution vector unknown, z[I], is V, the phase voltage, in volts.

Parameters
llDetermine which group of species gets updated
  • ll = 0: Calculate for all species
  • ll < 0: calculate for components and for major non-components
  • ll = 1: calculate for components and for minor non-components
lbotRestricts the calculation of the chemical potential to the species between LBOT <= i < LTOP. Usually LBOT and LTOP will be equal to 0 and MR, respectively.
ltopTop value of the loops
stateCalcDetermines whether z is old or new or tentative:
  • 1: Use the tentative values for the total number of moles in the phases, i.e., use TG1 instead of TG etc.
  • 0: Use the base values of the total number of moles in each system.

Also needed: ff : standard state chemical potentials. These are the chemical potentials of the standard states at the same T and P as the solution. tg : Total Number of moles in the phase.

void vcs_deltag ( const int  l,

This subroutine calculates reaction free energy changes for all noncomponent formation reactions.

Formation reactions are reactions which create each noncomponent species from the component species. m_stoichCoeffRxnMatrix[irxn][jcomp] are the stoichiometric coefficients for these reactions. A stoichiometric coefficient of one is assumed for species irxn in this reaction.

Parameters
l
  • L < 0: Calculate reactions corresponding to major noncomponent and zeroed species only
  • L = 0: Do all noncomponent reactions, i, between 0 <= i < irxnl
  • L > 0: Calculate reactions corresponding to minor noncomponent and zeroed species only
doDeletedDo deleted species
vcsStateCalculate deltaG corresponding to either old or new free energies
alterZeroedPhasesboolean indicating whether we should add in a special section for zeroed phases.

Note we special case one important issue. If the component has zero moles, then we do not allow deltaG < 0.0 for formation reactions which would lead to the loss of more of that same component. This dG < 0.0 condition feeds back into the algorithm in several places, and leads to a infinite loop in at least one case.

double vcs_birthGuess ( const int  kspec)

Birth guess returns the number of moles of a species that is coming back to life.

Birth guess returns the number of moles of a species that is coming back to life. Note, this routine is not applicable if the whole phase is coming back to life, not just one species in that phase.

Do a minor alt calculation. But, cap the mole numbers at 1.0E-15. For SS phases use VCS_DELETE_SPECIES_CUTOFF * 100.

The routine makes sure the guess doesn't reduce the concentration of a component by more than 1/3. Note this may mean that the vlaue coming back from this routine is zero or a very small number.

Parameters
kspecSpecies number that is coming back to life
Returns
Returns the number of kmol that the species should have.

int vcs_prep_oneTime ( int  printLvl)

This routine is mostly concerned with changing the private data to be consistent with what's needed for solution.

It is called one time for each new problem structure definition.

This routine is always followed by vcs_prep(). Therefore, tasks that need to be done for every call to vcsc() should be placed in vcs_prep() and not in this routine.

The problem structure refers to:

  • the number and identity of the species.
  • the formula matrix and thus the number of components.
  • the number and identity of the phases.
  • the equation of state
  • the method and parameters for determining the standard state
  • The method and parameters for determining the activity coefficients.

Tasks:

  1. Fill in the SSPhase[] array.
  2. Check to see if any multispecies phases actually have only one species in that phase. If true, reassign that phase and species to be a single-species phase.
  3. Determine the number of components in the problem if not already done so. During this process the order of the species is changed in the private data structure. All references to the species properties must employ the ind[] index vector.
Parameters
printLvlPrint level of the routine
Returns
VCS_SUCCESS = everything went OK

bool vcs_wellPosed ( VCS_PROB vprob)

In this routine, we check for things that will cause the algorithm to fail.

We check to see if the problem is well posed. If it is not, we return false and print out error conditions.

Current there is one condition. If all the element abundances are zero, the algorithm will fail.

Parameters
vprobVCS_PROB pointer to the definition of the equilibrium problem
Returns
If true, the problem is well-posed. If false, the problem is not well posed.

int vcs_elem_rearrange ( double *const  aw,
double *const  sa,
double *const  sm,
double *const  ss 
)

Rearrange the constraint equations represented by the Formula Matrix so that the operational ones are in the front.

This subroutine handles the rearrangement of the constraint equations represented by the Formula Matrix. Rearrangement is only necessary when the number of components is less than the number of elements. For this case, some constraints can never be satisfied exactly, because the range space represented by the Formula Matrix of the components can't span the extra space. These constraints, which are out of the range space of the component Formula matrix entries, are migrated to the back of the Formula matrix.

A prototypical example is an extra element column in FormulaMatrix[], which is identically zero. For example, let's say that argon is has an element column in FormulaMatrix[], but no species in the mechanism actually contains argon. Then, nc < ne. Also, without perturbation of FormulaMatrix[] vcs_basopt[] would produce a zero pivot because the matrix would be singular (unless the argon element column was already the last column of FormulaMatrix[].

This routine borrows heavily from vcs_basopt's algorithm. It finds nc constraints which span the range space of the Component Formula matrix, and assigns them as the first nc components in the formula matrix. This guarantees that vcs_basopt[] has a nonsingular matrix to invert.

int vcs_rxn_adj_cg ( void  )

Calculates reaction adjustments using a full Hessian approximation.

This does what equation 6.4-16, p. 143 in Smith and Missen is supposed to do. However, a full matrix is formed and then solved via a conjugate gradient algorithm. No preconditioning is done.

If special branching is warranted, then the program bails out.

Output

DS(I) : reaction adjustment, where I refers to the Ith species Special branching occurs sometimes. This causes the component basis to be reevaluated return = 0 : normal return 1 : A single species phase species has been zeroed out in this routine. The species is a noncomponent 2 : Same as one but, the zeroed species is a component.

Special attention is taken to flag cases where the direction of the update is contrary to the steepest descent rule. This is an important attribute of the regular vcs algorithm. We don't want to violate this.

NOTE: currently this routine is not used.

bool vcs_elabcheck ( int  ibound)

Checks to see if the element abundances are in compliance. If they are, then TRUE is returned. If not, FALSE is returned. Note the number of constraints checked is usually equal to the number of components in the problem. This routine can check satisfaction of all of the constraints in the problem, which is equal to ne. However, the solver can't fix breakage of constraints above nc, because that nc is the range space by definition. Satisfaction of extra constraints would have had to occur in the problem specification.

The constraints should be broken up into 2 sections. If a constraint involves a formula matrix with positive and negative signs, and eaSet = 0.0, then you can't expect that the sum will be zero. There may be roundoff that inhibits this. However, if the formula matrix is all of one sign, then this requires that all species with nonzero entries in the formula matrix be identically zero. We put this into the logic below.

Parameters
ibound1: Checks constraints up to the number of elements; 0: Checks constraints up to the number of components.

DG_i_0 =  m_feSpecies(I) - sum_m{ a_i_m  DG_m }

DG_i_O = u_i_O - sum_u.

Then, the phase pops into existence iff

phaseDG = 1.0 - sum_i{exp(-DG_i_O)}  < 0.0

This formula works for both single species phases and for multispecies phases. It's an overkill for single species phases.

 0 = m_deltaGRxn_old(I) + log(molNum_new(I)/molNum_old(I))

m_deltaGRxn_old contains the contribution from

 m_feSpecies_old(I) =
        m_SSfeSpecies(I) +
        log(ActCoeff[i] * molNum_old(I) / m_tPhaseMoles_old(iph))

Thus,

 molNum_new(I)= molNum_old(I) * EXP(-m_deltaGRxn_old(I))

Most of this section is mainly restricting the update to reasonable values. We restrict the update a factor of 1.0E10 up and 1.0E-10 down because we run into trouble with the addition operator due to roundoff if we go larger than ~1.0E15. Roundoff will then sometimes produce zero mole fractions.

Note: This routine was generalized to incorporate nonideal phases and phases on the molality basis

Parameters
[in]kspecThe current species and corresponding formation reaction number.
[in]irxnThe current species and corresponding formation reaction number.
[out]do_deleteBOOLEAN which if true on return, then we branch to the section that deletes a species from the current set of active species.

This routine optimizes the minimization of the total gibbs free energy by making sure the slope of the following functional stays negative:

The slope of the following functional is equivalent to the slope of the total Gibbs free energy of the system:

d_Gibbs/ds = sum_k( m_deltaGRxn * m_deltaMolNumSpecies[k] )

along the current direction m_deltaMolNumSpecies[], by choosing a value, al: (0<al<1) such that the a parabola approximation to Gibbs(al) fit to the end points al = 0 and al = 1 is minimized.

  • s1 = slope of Gibbs function at al = 0, which is the previous solution = d(Gibbs)/d(al).
  • s2 = slope of Gibbs function at al = 1, which is the current solution = d(Gibbs)/d(al).

Only if there has been an inflection point (i.e., s1 < 0 and s2 > 0), does this code section kick in. It finds the point on the parabola where the slope is equal to zero.

This function recalculates the deltaG for reaction, irxn.

This function recalculates the deltaG for reaction irxn, given the mole numbers in molNum. It uses the temporary space mu_i, to hold the recalculated chemical potentials. It only recalculates the chemical potentials for species in phases which participate in the irxn reaction. This function is used by the vcs_line_search algorithm() and should not be used widely due to the unknown state it leaves the system.

Parameters
[in]irxnReaction number
[in]molNumCurrent mole numbers of species to be used as input to the calculation (units = kmol), (length = totalNuMSpecies)
[out]acActivity coefficients (length = totalNumSpecies) Note this is only partially formed. Only species in phases that participate in the reaction will be updated
[out]mu_idimensionless chemical potentials (length totalNumSpecies) Note this is only partially formed. Only species in phases that participate in the reaction will be updated
Returns
Returns the dimensionless deltaG of the reaction
