Detailed Description

Class LTPspecies_Arrhenius holds transport parameters for a specific liquid- phase species (LTPspecies) when the transport property is expressed in Arrhenius form.

Used for standard state species properties with equations of the form

\[ x = A T^b \exp( - E / RT ) \]

where A, b, and E are passed in the XML input file.

As an example of the input required for LTPspecies_Arrhenius consider the following XML fragment

*    <species>
*      <!-- thermodynamic properties -->
*      <transport>
*        <viscosity model="Arrhenius">
*           <!-- Janz, JPCRD, 17, supplement 2, 1988 -->
*           <A>6.578e-5</A>
*           <b>0.0</b>
*           <E units="J/kmol">23788.e3</E>
*        </viscosity>
*        <!-- other transport properties -->
*      </transport>
*    </species>

◆ duplMyselfAsLTPspecies()

LTPspecies * duplMyselfAsLTPspecies ( ) const
virtual

Duplication routine.

(virtual from LTPspecies)

Returns
a copy of this routine as a pointer to LTPspecies

Reimplemented from LTPspecies.

Definition at line 123 of file LTPspecies.cpp.

◆ setupFromXML()

void setupFromXML ( const XML_Node propNode)
virtual

Set up the species transport property from the XML node, <propNode> that is a child of the <transport> node in the species block and specifies a type of transport property (like viscosity)

Reimplemented from LTPspecies.

Definition at line 128 of file LTPspecies.cpp.

References Cantera::getArrhenius(), and XML_Node::name().

◆ getSpeciesTransProp()

doublereal getSpeciesTransProp ( )
virtual

Return the standard state species value for this transport property evaluated from the Arrhenius expression.

In general the Arrhenius expression is

\[ \mu = A T^n \exp( - E / R T ). \]

Note that for viscosity, the convention is such that a positive activation energy corresponds to the typical case of a positive argument to the exponential so that the Arrhenius expression is

\[ \mu = A T^n \exp( + E / R T ). \]

Any temperature and composition dependence will be adjusted internally according to the information provided.
