Detailed Description

Unit conversion utility.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Unit()

virtual ~Unit ( )
inlinevirtual

Empty Destructor.

Definition at line 50 of file units.h.

◆ Unit()

Unit ( )
inlineprivate

Units class constructor, containing the default mappings between strings and units.

Definition at line 164 of file units.h.

References Cantera::Avogadro, Cantera::GasConstant, Unit::m_act_u, and Unit::m_u.

Referenced by Unit::units().

Member Function Documentation

◆ units()

static Unit* units ( )
inlinestatic

Initialize the static Unit class.

Definition at line 31 of file units.h.

References Unit::s_u, Unit::Unit(), and Unit::units_mutex.

Referenced by Application::Application().

◆ deleteUnit()

static void deleteUnit ( )
inlinestatic

Destroy the static Unit class.

Note this can't be done in a destructor.

Definition at line 43 of file units.h.

References Unit::s_u, and Unit::units_mutex.

◆ actEnergyToSI()

doublereal actEnergyToSI ( const std::string &  units_)
inline

Return the multiplier required to convert an activation energy to SI units.

Parameters
units_activation energy units

Definition at line 57 of file units.h.

References Unit::m_act_u, and Unit::toSI().

◆ toSI()

doublereal toSI ( const std::string &  units_)
inline

Return the multiplier required to convert a dimensional quantity with units specified by string 'units' to SI units.

The list of recognized units is stored as a stl map <string, doublereal>called m_u[] and m_act_u for activity coefficients. These maps are initialized with likely values.

Parameters
units_String containing the units description

Definition at line 73 of file units.h.

References Unit::m_u, and Cantera::npos.

Member Data Documentation

◆ s_u

Unit * s_u = 0
staticprivate

pointer to the single instance of Unit

Definition at line 142 of file units.h.

Referenced by Unit::deleteUnit(), and Unit::units().

◆ m_u

std::map<std::string, doublereal> m_u
private

Map between a string and a units double value.

This map maps the dimension string to the units value adjustment. Example

  • m_u["m"] = 1.0;
  • m_u["cm"] = 0.01;

Definition at line 150 of file units.h.

Referenced by Unit::toSI(), and Unit::Unit().

◆ m_act_u

std::map<std::string, doublereal> m_act_u
private

Map between a string and a units double value for activation energy units.

This map maps the dimension string to the units value adjustment. Example

  • m_act_u["K"] = GasConstant;

Definition at line 157 of file units.h.

Referenced by Unit::actEnergyToSI(), and Unit::Unit().

◆ units_mutex

std::mutex units_mutex
staticprivate

Decl for static locker for Units singleton.
