Rate-Based Reaction Forms

Mole Fraction Power Law (mole_frac_power_law_rate)

The method uses a power law form using the component mole fractions to calculate the reaction rate.

\[r_{rxn} = k_{rxn} \prod_{(p, j)}{x_{(p,j)}^{O_{(p,j)}}}\]

Parameters

Symbol Parameter Name Indices Description
\(O\) reaction_order phase, component Reaction order

Providing a reaction_order dict is optional. If one is not provided, it will be assumed that this is an elementary reaction and that the reaction order is equal to the stoichiometric coefficient for the products (i.e. for all phase-component pairs with a negative stoichiometric coefficient, the reaction order is equal to the absolute value of the stoichiometric coefficient).
