19 //! Class IdealGasPhase represents low-density gases that obey the ideal gas
20 //! equation of state.
21 /*!
22  *
23  * IdealGasPhase derives from class ThermoPhase, and overloads the virtual
24  * methods defined there with ones that use expressions appropriate for ideal
25  * gas mixtures.
26  *
27  * The independent unknowns are density, mass fraction, and temperature. the
28  * #setPressure() function will calculate the density consistent with the
29  * current mass fraction vector and temperature and the desired pressure, and
30  * then set the density.
31  *
32  * ## Specification of Species Standard State Properties
33  *
34  * It is assumed that the reference state thermodynamics may be obtained by a
35  * pointer to a populated species thermodynamic property manager class in the
36  * base class, ThermoPhase::m_spthermo (see the base class \link
37  * Cantera::MultiSpeciesThermo MultiSpeciesThermo \endlink for a description of
38  * the specification of reference state species thermodynamics functions). The
39  * reference state, where the pressure is fixed at a single pressure, is a key
40  * species property calculation for the Ideal Gas Equation of state.
41  *
42  * This class is optimized for speed of execution. All calls to thermodynamic
43  * functions first call internal routines (aka #enthalpy_RT_ref()) which return
44  * references the reference state thermodynamics functions. Within these
45  * internal reference state functions, the function #_updateThermo() is called,
46  * that first checks to see whether the temperature has changed. If it has, it
47  * updates the internal reference state thermo functions by calling the
48  * MultiSpeciesThermo object.
49  *
50  * Functions for the calculation of standard state properties for species at
51  * arbitrary pressure are provided in IdealGasPhase. However, they are all
52  * derived from their reference state counterparts.
53  *
54  * The standard state enthalpy is independent of pressure:
55  *
56  * \f[
57  *      h^o_k(T,P) = h^{ref}_k(T)
58  * \f]
59  *
60  * The standard state constant-pressure heat capacity is independent of pressure:
61  *
62  * \f[
63  *      Cp^o_k(T,P) = Cp^{ref}_k(T)
64  * \f]
65  *
66  * The standard state entropy depends in the following fashion on pressure:
67  *
68  * \f[
69  *      S^o_k(T,P) = S^{ref}_k(T) -  R \ln(\frac{P}{P_{ref}})
70  * \f]
71  * The standard state Gibbs free energy is obtained from the enthalpy and entropy
72  * functions:
73  *
74  * \f[
75  *      \mu^o_k(T,P) =  h^o_k(T,P) - S^o_k(T,P) T
76  * \f]
77  *
78  * \f[
79  *      \mu^o_k(T,P) =  \mu^{ref}_k(T) + R T \ln( \frac{P}{P_{ref}})
80  * \f]
81  *
82  * where
83  * \f[
84  *      \mu^{ref}_k(T) =   h^{ref}_k(T)   - T S^{ref}_k(T)
85  * \f]
86  *
87  * The standard state internal energy is obtained from the enthalpy function also
88  *
89  * \f[
90  *      u^o_k(T,P) = h^o_k(T) - R T
91  * \f]
92  *
93  * The molar volume of a species is given by the ideal gas law
94  *
95  * \f[
96  *      V^o_k(T,P) = \frac{R T}{P}
97  * \f]
98  *
99  * where R is the molar gas constant. For a complete list of physical constants
100  * used within %Cantera, see \ref physConstants .
101  *
102  * ## Specification of Solution Thermodynamic Properties
103  *
104  * The activity of a species defined in the phase is given by the ideal gas law:
105  * \f[
106  *      a_k = X_k
107  * \f]
108  * where \f$ X_k \f$ is the mole fraction of species *k*. The chemical potential
109  * for species *k* is equal to
110  *
111  * \f[
112  *      \mu_k(T,P) = \mu^o_k(T, P) + R T \log(X_k)
113  * \f]
114  *
115  * In terms of the reference state, the above can be rewritten
116  *
117  * \f[
118  *      \mu_k(T,P) = \mu^{ref}_k(T, P) + R T \log(\frac{P X_k}{P_{ref}})
119  * \f]
120  *
121  * The partial molar entropy for species *k* is given by the following relation,
122  *
123  * \f[
124  *      \tilde{s}_k(T,P) = s^o_k(T,P) - R \log(X_k) = s^{ref}_k(T) - R \log(\frac{P X_k}{P_{ref}})
125  * \f]
126  *
127  * The partial molar enthalpy for species *k* is
128  *
129  * \f[
130  *      \tilde{h}_k(T,P) = h^o_k(T,P) = h^{ref}_k(T)
131  * \f]
132  *
133  * The partial molar Internal Energy for species *k* is
134  *
135  * \f[
136  *      \tilde{u}_k(T,P) = u^o_k(T,P) = u^{ref}_k(T)
137  * \f]
138  *
139  * The partial molar Heat Capacity for species *k* is
140  *
141  * \f[
142  *      \tilde{Cp}_k(T,P) = Cp^o_k(T,P) = Cp^{ref}_k(T)
143  * \f]
144  *
145  * ## %Application within Kinetics Managers
146  *
147  * \f$ C^a_k\f$ are defined such that \f$ a_k = C^a_k / C^s_k, \f$ where \f$
148  * C^s_k \f$ is a standard concentration defined below and \f$ a_k \f$ are
149  * activities used in the thermodynamic functions.  These activity (or
150  * generalized) concentrations are used by kinetics manager classes to compute
151  * the forward and reverse rates of elementary reactions. The activity
152  * concentration,\f$  C^a_k \f$,is given by the following expression.
153  *
154  * \f[
155  *      C^a_k = C^s_k  X_k  = \frac{P}{R T} X_k
156  * \f]
157  *
158  * The standard concentration for species *k* is independent of *k* and equal to
159  *
160  * \f[
161  *     C^s_k =  C^s = \frac{P}{R T}
162  * \f]
163  *
164  * For example, a bulk-phase binary gas reaction between species j and k,
165  * producing a new gas species l would have the following equation for its rate
166  * of progress variable, \f$ R^1 \f$, which has units of kmol m-3 s-1.
167  *
168  * \f[
169  *    R^1 = k^1 C_j^a C_k^a =  k^1 (C^s a_j) (C^s a_k)
170  * \f]
171  * where
172  * \f[
173  *    C_j^a = C^s a_j \quad \mbox{and} \quad C_k^a = C^s a_k
174  * \f]
175  *
176  * \f$ C_j^a \f$ is the activity concentration of species j, and
177  * \f$ C_k^a \f$ is the activity concentration of species k. \f$ C^s \f$ is the
178  * standard concentration. \f$ a_j \f$ is the activity of species j which is
179  * equal to the mole fraction of j.
180  *
181  * The reverse rate constant can then be obtained from the law of microscopic
182  * reversibility and the equilibrium expression for the system.
183  *
184  * \f[
185  *     \frac{a_j a_k}{ a_l} = K_a^{o,1} = \exp(\frac{\mu^o_l - \mu^o_j - \mu^o_k}{R T} )
186  * \f]
187  *
188  * \f$  K_a^{o,1} \f$ is the dimensionless form of the equilibrium constant,
189  * associated with the pressure dependent standard states \f$ \mu^o_l(T,P) \f$
190  * and their associated activities, \f$ a_l \f$, repeated here:
191  *
192  * \f[
193  *      \mu_l(T,P) = \mu^o_l(T, P) + R T \log(a_l)
194  * \f]
195  *
196  * We can switch over to expressing the equilibrium constant in terms of the
197  * reference state chemical potentials
198  *
199  * \f[
200  *     K_a^{o,1} = \exp(\frac{\mu^{ref}_l - \mu^{ref}_j - \mu^{ref}_k}{R T} ) * \frac{P_{ref}}{P}
201  * \f]
202  *
203  * The concentration equilibrium constant, \f$ K_c \f$, may be obtained by
204  * changing over to activity concentrations. When this is done:
205  *
206  * \f[
207  *       \frac{C^a_j C^a_k}{ C^a_l} = C^o K_a^{o,1} = K_c^1 =
208  *           \exp(\frac{\mu^{ref}_l - \mu^{ref}_j - \mu^{ref}_k}{R T} ) * \frac{P_{ref}}{RT}
209  * \f]
210  *
211  * %Kinetics managers will calculate the concentration equilibrium constant,
212  * \f$ K_c \f$, using the second and third part of the above expression as a
213  * definition for the concentration equilibrium constant.
214  *
215  * For completeness, the pressure equilibrium constant may be obtained as well
216  *
217  * \f[
218  *       \frac{P_j P_k}{ P_l P_{ref}} = K_p^1 =
219  *           \exp\left(\frac{\mu^{ref}_l - \mu^{ref}_j - \mu^{ref}_k}{R T} \right)
220  * \f]
221  *
222  * \f$ K_p \f$ is the simplest form of the equilibrium constant for ideal gases.
223  * However, it isn't necessarily the simplest form of the equilibrium constant
224  * for other types of phases; \f$ K_c \f$ is used instead because it is
225  * completely general.
226  *
227  * The reverse rate of progress may be written down as
228  * \f[
229  *    R^{-1} = k^{-1} C_l^a =  k^{-1} (C^o a_l)
230  * \f]
231  *
232  * where we can use the concept of microscopic reversibility to write the
233  * reverse rate constant in terms of the forward rate constant and the
234  * concentration equilibrium constant, \f$ K_c \f$.
235  *
236  * \f[
237  *    k^{-1} =  k^1 K^1_c
238  * \f]
239  *
240  * \f$k^{-1} \f$ has units of s-1.
241  *
242  * ## Instantiation of the Class
243  *
244  * The constructor for this phase is located in the default ThermoFactory for
245  * %Cantera. A new IdealGasPhase may be created by the following code snippet:
246  *
247  * @code
248  *    XML_Node *xc = get_XML_File("silane.xml");
249  *    XML_Node * const xs = xc->findNameID("phase", "silane");
250  *    ThermoPhase *silane_tp = newPhase(*xs);
251  *    IdealGasPhase *silaneGas = dynamic_cast <IdealGasPhase *>(silane_tp);
252  * @endcode
253  *
254  * or by the following constructor:
255  *
256  * @code
257  *    XML_Node *xc = get_XML_File("silane.xml");
258  *    XML_Node * const xs = xc->findNameID("phase", "silane");
259  *    IdealGasPhase *silaneGas = new IdealGasPhase(*xs);
260  * @endcode
261  *
262  * ## XML Example
263  *
264  *   An example of an XML Element named phase setting up a IdealGasPhase
265  *   object named silane is given below.
266  *
267  * @code
268  * <!--     phase silane      -->
