Detailed Description

Multiphase chemical equilibrium solver. Class MultiPhaseEquil is designed to be used to set a mixture containing one or more phases to a state of chemical equilibrium. It implements the VCS algorithm, described in Smith and Missen, "Chemical Reaction Equilibrium."

This class only handles chemical equilibrium at a specified temperature and pressure. To compute equilibrium holding other properties fixed, it is necessary to iterate on T and P in an "outer" loop, until the specified properties have the desired values. This is done, for example, in method equilibrate of class MultiPhase.

This class is primarily meant to be used internally by the equilibrate method of class MultiPhase, although there is no reason it cannot be used directly in application programs if desired.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MultiPhaseEquil()

MultiPhaseEquil ( MultiPhase mix,
bool  start = true,
int  loglevel = 0 
)

Construct a multiphase equilibrium manager for a multiphase mixture.

Parameters
mixPointer to a multiphase mixture object.
startIf true, the initial composition will be determined by a linear Gibbs minimization, otherwise the initial mixture composition will be used.
loglevelDesired level of debug printing. loglevel = 0 suppresses printing. Higher values request more verbose logging output.

◆ getComponents()

void getComponents ( const std::vector< size_t > &  order)
protected

This method finds a set of component species and a complete set of formation reactions for the non-components in terms of the components.

In most cases, many different component sets are possible, and therefore neither the components returned by this method nor the formation reactions are unique. The algorithm used here is described in Smith and Missen, Chemical Reaction Equilibrium Analysis.

The component species are taken to be the first M species in array 'species' that have linearly-independent compositions.

Parameters
orderOn entry, vector order should contain species index numbers in the order of decreasing desirability as a component. For example, if it is desired to choose the components from among the major species, this array might list species index numbers in decreasing order of mole fraction. If array 'species' does not have length = nSpecies(), then the species will be considered as candidates to be components in declaration order, beginning with the first phase added.

◆ setInitialMoles()

int setInitialMoles ( int  loglevel = 0)
protected

Estimate the initial mole numbers.

This is done by running each reaction as far forward or backward as possible, subject to the constraint that all mole numbers remain non-negative. Reactions for which \( \Delta \mu^0 \) are positive are run in reverse, and ones for which it is negative are run in the forward direction. The end result is equivalent to solving the linear programming problem of minimizing the linear Gibbs function subject to the element and non- negativity constraints.

◆ stepComposition()

doublereal stepComposition ( int  loglevel = 0)
protected

Take one step in composition, given the gradient of G at the starting point, and a vector of reaction steps dxi.

◆ unsort()

void unsort ( vector_fp x)
protected

Re-arrange a vector of species properties in sorted form (components first) into unsorted, sequential form.

◆ computeReactionSteps()

doublereal computeReactionSteps ( vector_fp dxi)
protected

◆ finish()

void finish ( )
protected

Clean up the composition.

The solution algorithm can leave some species in stoichiometric condensed phases with very small negative mole numbers. This method simply sets these to zero.
