composition_properties command

Purpose

Command for defining the properties of a composition.

Syntax

composition_properties composition_name keyword value

composition_name = name of the composition to be defined, obligatory entry (no keyword!)

Description

species

obligatory; species name list of the composition
units: [-]

species_massfraction

optional; species mass fraction list of the composition (sum must be 1). mSpecies = species_massfraction * mParticle. Either species_massfraction or species_volumefraction must be provided
units: [-]

species_volumefraction

optional; species volume fraction list of the composition (sum must be 1). concentrationSpecies = species_volumefraction * species_density / particle_density. Either species_massfraction or species_volumefraction must be provided
units: [-]

species_density

obligatory; species density list of the composition
units: [mass/length^3]

species_calc_concentration

optional; species name list of the species for which ‘concentration_SPECIESNAME’ is calculated. If not defined, the concentration is calculated for all species.
units: [-]

composition_mixture_density

optional; This value overrules the calculated mixture density. A particle’s species mass is then calculated as: Vp*composition_mixture_density*concentration_species.
units: [mass/length^3]

species_is_liquid

optional; boolean (‘yes’ or ‘no’) list, indicating which of the species is considered being ‘liquid’.
units: [-]

species_porosity

optional; scalar list, of the volumetric porosity of a (non liquid) species.
units: [-]

species_swell_factor

optional; scalar list, of the volumetric swelling factor of a (non liquid) species.
units: [-]

species_max_liquid_massfraction

optional; scalar list, of the maximum possible mass fraction of a liquid species.
units: [-]

species_max_liquid_volumefraction

optional; scalar list, of the maximum possible volume fraction of a liquid species.
units: [-]

Examples

 species {C, N} &
 species_massfraction {0.1, 0.9} &
 species_density {2000, 3000} &
 species_is_liquid {yes, no}

Description

This command allows to define the properties of a composition. Multiple instances of the command can be used to define different compositions. By default, the species mass is written as ‘mass_SPECIESNAME’ and the species concentration is written as ‘concentration_SPECIESNAME’ for each species.
