Detailed Description

Class LTPspecies_Arrhenius holds transport parameters for a specific liquid-phase species (LTPspecies) when the transport property is expressed in Arrhenius form.

Used for standard state species properties with equations of the form

\[ x = A T^b \exp( - E / RT ) \]

where A, b, and E are passed in the XML input file.

As an example of the input required for LTPspecies_Arrhenius consider the following XML fragment

*    <species>
*      <!-- thermodynamic properties -->
*      <transport>
*        <viscosity model="Arrhenius">
*           <!-- Janz, JPCRD, 17, supplement 2, 1988 -->
*           <A>6.578e-5</A>
*           <b>0.0</b>
*           <E units="J/kmol">23788.e3</E>
*        </viscosity>
*        <!-- other transport properties -->
*      </transport>
*    </species>

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LTPspecies_Arrhenius	(	const XML_Node &	propNode,
		const std::string	name,
		TransportPropertyType	tp_ind,
		const thermo_t *	thermo
	)

Construct an LTPspecies object for a liquid transport property expressed in extended Arrhenius form.

The transport property is constructed from the XML node, <propNode>, that is a child of the <transport> node and specifies a type of transport property (like viscosity)

Parameters

propNode	Reference to the XML node that contains the property information.This class is assumed to be parameterized by reading XML_Node information.
name	String containing the species name
tp_ind	enum TransportPropertyType containing the property id that this object is creating a parameterization for (e.g., viscosity)
thermo	const pointer to the ThermoPhase object, which is used to find the temperature.

LTPspecies * duplMyselfAsLTPspecies ( ) const

virtual

Duplicates the current object given the parent class reference.

Returns: returns a malloced duplicate to the current object using the base class pointer

doublereal getSpeciesTransProp ( )

virtual

Return the standard state species value for this transport property evaluated from the Arrhenius expression.

In general the Arrhenius expression is

\[ \mu = A T^n \exp( - E / R T ). \]

Note that for viscosity, the convention is such that a positive activation energy corresponds to the typical case of a positive argument to the exponential so that the Arrhenius expression is

\[ \mu = A T^n \exp( + E / R T ). \]

Any temperature and composition dependence will be adjusted internally according to the information provided.
