Detailed Description

Base class for stirred reactors.

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

Member Function Documentation

virtual int type ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Return a constant indicating the type of this Reactor.

Reimplemented in Reactor, ConstPressureReactor, IdealGasConstPressureReactor, IdealGasReactor, and FlowReactor.

Definition at line 37 of file ReactorBase.h.

std::string name ( ) const

inline

Return the name of this reactor.

Definition at line 42 of file ReactorBase.h.

Referenced by ReactorNet::addReactor(), Reactor::addSensitivityReaction(), and ReactorBase::setName().

void setName ( const std::string & name )

inline

Set the name of this reactor.
