Detailed Description

Pressure-dependent reaction rate expressed by logarithmically interpolating between Arrhenius rate expressions at various pressures.

Given two rate expressions at two specific pressures:

The rate at an intermediate pressure \( P_1 < P < P_2 \) is computed as

\[ \log k(T,P) = \log k_1(T) + \bigl(\log k_2(T) - \log k_1(T)\bigr) \frac{\log P - \log P_1}{\log P_2 - \log P_1} \]

Multiple rate expressions may be given at the same pressure, in which case the rate used in the interpolation formula is the sum of all the rates given at that pressure. For pressures outside the given range, the rate expression at the nearest pressure is used.

inline

Default constructor.

◆ Plog() [2/2]

Plog ( const std::multimap< double, Arrhenius > &  rates)
explicit

Constructor from Arrhenius rate expressions at a set of pressures.

◆ type()

static int type ( )
inlinestatic

return the rate coefficient type.

Definition at line 215 of file RxnRates.h.

◆ update_C()

void update_C ( const doublereal *  c)
inline

Update concentration-dependent parts of the rate coefficient.

Parameters
cnatural log of the pressure in Pa

Definition at line 227 of file RxnRates.h.

◆ updateRC()

doublereal updateRC ( doublereal  logT,
doublereal  recipT 
) const
inline

Update the value the rate constant.

This function returns the actual value of the rate constant.

Definition at line 257 of file RxnRates.h.

References Plog::ilow1_, Plog::logP_, and Plog::rDeltaP_.

◆ validate()

void validate ( const std::string &  equation)

Check to make sure that the rate expression is finite over a range of temperatures at each interpolation pressure.

This is potentially an issue when one of the Arrhenius expressions at a particular pressure has a negative pre-exponential factor.

◆ rates()

std::vector< std::pair< double, Arrhenius > > rates ( ) const

Return the pressures and Arrhenius expressions which comprise this reaction.
