Since VPStandardStateTP and derived classes do not use the reference state
thermodynamic properties in the m_spthermo object, we can just install
placeholder objects there, and eliminate the wrapper clas STITbyPDSS.
In some models, SpeciesThermoInterpType objects on individual species are not
used. Instead of requiring the specification of placeholder thermo data, this
allows the base SpeciesThermoInterpType class to be used, which will throw an
exception if it is inadvertently used.
Eliminate several member variables which shadow variables of the
VPStandardState class, and actually contained the same information
calculated a different way.
Previously, lines which did not contain a reaction equation or a known keyword
and did not contain any slashes would be silently skipped. This caused reactions
mistakenly written using '->' as the arrow to be ignored without warning.
Fixes#583
When using the 'auto' solver option, user-provided arguments to
set_initial_guess were not being saved for subsequent calls to set_initial_guess
within Sim1D.solve, causing the solution to always be for equilibrated products.
Adds capability for RedlichKwongMFTP to read a database of critical properties
for Tc and Pc of common species, so that users do not need to input pureFluidParameters
for every single species, thereby reducing burden during creation of new cti files.
For any species where pureFluidParameters are not provided by the user, function
getCoeffs scans the database looking for matches. Any unmatched species will throw
an error. Currently only scans by species name string, and is only intended for
common species with well-known critical properties.
Current operation is quite slow if the table is consulted for a large number of
species. In the future, should also implement the capability to write the updated
pureFluidParameters back into the xml file, so the user only has to perform the lookup
once.
Text in the header file previously commented that the RedlichKwongMFTP
thermo class had no test suite coverage and was at risk for deprecation.
As this is no longer the case, this PR removes that language.
Add asynchronous ('async', 'media' and conditional 'defer' attributes) loading of remote javascript
and css files within Cantera 2.4.0 Sphinx Documentation to avoid too long render of pages
in case of offline usage of documentation.
