Detailed Description

Cantera's Interface to the Multiphase chemical equilibrium solver.

Class vcs_MultiPhaseEquil is designed to be used to set a mixture containing one or more phases to a state of chemical equilibrium.

Note, as currently constructed, the underlying ThermoPhase objects are shared between the MultiPhase object and this object. Therefore, mix is not a const argument, and the return parameters are contained in underlying ThermoPhase objects.

Definition at line 194 of file vcs_MultiPhaseEquil.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vcs_MultiPhaseEquil ( MultiPhase mix,
int  printLvl 
)

Constructor for the multiphase equilibrium solver.

This constructor will initialize the object with a MultiPhase object, setting up the internal equilibration problem. Note, as currently constructed, the underlying ThermoPhase objects are shared between the MultiPhase object and this object. Therefore, mix is not a const argument, and the return parameters are contained in underlying ThermoPhase objects.

Parameters
mixObject containing the MultiPhase object
printLvlDetermines the amount of printing to stdout that occurs for each call:
  • 0: No printing
  • 1: Only printing to the .csv file
  • 2: print the soln only
  • 3: Print the setup and then the soln only
  • 4: Print a table for each iteration
  • 5: Print more than a table for each iteration

Member Function Documentation

size_t component ( size_t  m) const

Return the index of the ith component.

Returns the index of the ith component in the equilibrium calculation. The index refers to the ordering of the species in the MultiPhase object.

Parameters
mIndex of the component. Must be between 0 and the number of components, which can be obtained from the numComponents() command.

void getStoichVector ( size_t  rxn,
vector_fp nu 
)

Get the stoichiometric reaction coefficients for a single reaction index.

This returns a stoichiometric reaction vector for a single formation reaction for a noncomponent species. There are (nSpecies() - nComponents) formation reactions. Each formation reaction will have a value of 1.0 for the species that is being formed, and the other non-zero coefficients will all involve the components of the mixture.

Parameters
rxnReaction number.
nuVector of coefficients for the formation reaction. Length is equal to the number of species in the MultiPhase object.

Vector that takes into account of the current sorting of the species.

The index of m_order is the original k value of the species in the multiphase. The value of m_order, k_sorted, is the current value of the species index.

Object which contains the problem statement.

The problem statement may contain some subtleties. For example, the element constraints may be different than just an element conservation contraint equations. There may be kinetically frozen degrees of freedom. There may be multiple electrolyte phases with zero charge constraints. All of these make the problem statement different than the simple element conservation statement.
