Types of Element Constraint Equations | |
There may be several different types of element constraints handled by the equilibrium program and by Cantera in other contexts. These defines are used to assign each constraint to one category. | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_TURNEDOFF -1 |
| An element constraint that is current turned off. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_ABSPOS 0 |
| Normal element constraint consisting of positive coefficients for the formula matrix. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_ELECTRONCHARGE 1 |
| This refers to conservation of electrons. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_CHARGENEUTRALITY 2 |
| This refers to a charge neutrality of a single phase. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_LATTICERATIO 3 |
| Constraint associated with maintaining a fixed lattice stoichiometry in a solid. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_KINETICFROZEN 4 |
| Constraint associated with maintaining frozen kinetic equilibria in some functional groups within molecules. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_SURFACECONSTRAINT 5 |
| Constraint associated with the maintenance of a surface phase. More... | |
| #define | CT_ELEM_TYPE_OTHERCONSTRAINT 6 |
| Other constraint equations. More... | |

| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_TURNEDOFF -1 |
An element constraint that is current turned off.
Definition at line 28 of file Elements.h.
| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_ABSPOS 0 |
Normal element constraint consisting of positive coefficients for the formula matrix.
All species have positive coefficients within the formula matrix. With this constraint, we may employ various strategies to handle small values of the element number successfully.
Definition at line 37 of file Elements.h.
| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_ELECTRONCHARGE 1 |
This refers to conservation of electrons.
Electrons may have positive or negative values in the Formula matrix.
Definition at line 43 of file Elements.h.
| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_CHARGENEUTRALITY 2 |
This refers to a charge neutrality of a single phase.
Charge neutrality may have positive or negative values in the Formula matrix.
Definition at line 49 of file Elements.h.
| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_LATTICERATIO 3 |
Constraint associated with maintaining a fixed lattice stoichiometry in a solid.
The constraint may have positive or negative values. The lattice 0 species will have negative values while higher lattices will have positive values
Definition at line 56 of file Elements.h.
| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_KINETICFROZEN 4 |
Constraint associated with maintaining frozen kinetic equilibria in some functional groups within molecules.
We seek here to say that some functional groups or ionic states should be treated as if they are separate elements given the time scale of the problem. This will be abs positive constraint. We have not implemented any examples yet. A requirement will be that we must be able to add and subtract these constraints.
Definition at line 67 of file Elements.h.
| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_SURFACECONSTRAINT 5 |
Constraint associated with the maintenance of a surface phase.
We don't have any examples of this yet either. However, surfaces only exist because they are interfaces between bulk layers. If we want to treat surfaces within thermodynamic systems we must come up with a way to constrain their total number.

| #define CT_ELEM_TYPE_OTHERCONSTRAINT 6 |
| #define ENTROPY298_UNKNOWN -123456789. |
Number indicating we don't know the entropy of the element in its most stable state at 298.15 K and 1 bar.
