Detailed Description

Class Reactor is a general-purpose class for stirred reactors.

The reactor may have an arbitrary number of inlets and outlets, each of which may be connected to a "flow device" such as a mass flow controller, a pressure regulator, etc. Additional reactors may be connected to the other end of the flow device, allowing construction of arbitrary reactor networks.

The reactor class integrates the same governing equations no matter what type of reactor is simulated. The differences among reactor types are completely specified by the attached flow devices and the time-dependent user-specified boundary conditions.

If an instance of class Reactor is used directly, it will simulate an adiabatic, constant volume reactor with gas-phase chemistry but no surface chemistry. Other reactor types may be simulated by deriving a class from Reactor. This method allows specifying the following in terms of the instantaneous reactor state:
