Reactions
*********
The fields common to all ``reaction`` entries are:
``equation``
The stoichiometric equation for the reaction. Each term (i.e.,
stoichiometric coefficient, species name, ``+`` or ``<=>``) in the equation
must be separated by a space.
Reversible reactions may be written using ``<=>`` or ``=`` to separate
reactants and products. Irreversible reacions are written using ``=>``.
``type``
A string specifying the type of reaction or rate coefficient
parameterization. The default is ``elementary``. Reaction types are:
- :ref:`elementary <sec-elementary>`
- :ref:`three-body <sec-three-body>`
- :ref:`falloff <sec-falloff>`
- :ref:`chemically-activated <sec-chemically-activated>`
- :ref:`pressure-dependent-Arrhenius <sec-pressure-dependent-Arrhenius>`
- :ref:`Chebyshev <sec-Chebyshev>`
Reactions on surfaces or edges are automatically treated as
:ref:`interface <sec-interface-reaction>` reactions, and reactions that
involve charge transfer between phases are automatically treated as
:ref:`electrochemical <sec-electrochemical-reaction>` reactions, without the
need to specify the ``type``.
``duplicate``
Boolean indicating whether the reaction is a known duplicate of another
reaction. The default is ``false``.
``orders``
An optional mapping of species to explicit reaction orders to use. Reaction
orders for reactant species not explicitly mentioned are taken to be their
respective stoichiometric coefficients. See
`Reaction orders <https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#reaction-orders>`__
for additional information.
``negative-orders``
Boolean indicating whether negative reaction orders are allowed. The
default is ``false``.
``nonreactant-orders``
Boolean indicating whether orders for non-reactant species are allowed.
The default is ``false``.
Depending on the reaction ``type``, other fields may be necessary to specify
the rate of the reaction.
.. _sec-arrhenius:
Arrhenius expression
====================
Arrhenius expressions can be specified as either a three-element list containing
the pre-exponential factor :math:`A`, the temperature exponent :math:`b`, and
the activation energy :math:`E_a`, or a mapping containing the fields ``A``,
``b``, and ``Ea``. The following are equivalent::
{A: -2.70000E+13 cm^3/mol/s, b: 0, Ea: 355 cal/mol}
[-2.70000E+13 cm^3/mol/s, 0, 355 cal/mol]
.. _sec-efficiencies:
Efficiencies
============
Some reaction types include parameters for the "efficiency" of different species
as third-body colliders. For these reactions, the following additional fields
are supported:
``efficiencies``
A mapping of species names to efficiency values
``default-efficiency``
The efficiency for use for species not included in the ``efficiencies``
mapping. Defaults to 1.0.
Reaction types
==============
.. _sec-elementary:
``elementary``
--------------
A homogeneous reaction with a pressure-independent rate coefficient and mass
action kinetics, as
`described here <https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#reactions-with-a-pressure-independent-rate>`__.
Additional fields are:
``rate-constant``
An :ref:`Arrhenius-type <sec-arrhenius>` list or mapping.
``negative-A``
A boolean indicating whether a negative value for the pre-exponential factor
is allowed. The default is ``false``.
Example::
equation: N + NO <=> N2 + O
rate-constant: {A: -2.70000E+13 cm^3/mol/s, b: 0, Ea: 355 cal/mol}
negative-A: true
.. _sec-three-body:
``three-body``
--------------

`described here <https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#three-body-reactions>`__.
The reaction equation should include the third body collision partner ``M``.
Includes the fields of an ``elementary`` reaction, plus the fields for
specifying :ref:`efficiencies <sec-efficiencies>`.
Example::
equation: 2 O + M = O2 + M
type: three-body
rate-constant: [1.20000E+17 cm^6/mol^2/s, -1, 0]

.. _sec-falloff:
``falloff``
-----------
A falloff reaction as
`described here <https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#falloff-reactions>`__.
The reaction equation should include the pressure-dependent third body collision
partner ``(+M)`` or ``(+name)`` where ``name`` is the name of a species. The
latter case is equivalent to setting the efficiency for ``name`` to 1 and the
efficiency for all other species to 0.
Includes field for specifying :ref:`efficiencies <sec-efficiencies>` as well
as:
``high-P-rate-constant``
An :ref:`sec-arrhenius` expression for the high-pressure limit
``low-P-rate-constant``

``Troe``
Parameters for the
`Troe <https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#the-troe-falloff-function>`__
falloff function. A mapping containing the keys ``A``, ``T3``, ``T1`` and
optionally ``T2``. The default value for ``T2`` is 0.
``SRI``
Parameters for the
`SRI <https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#the-sri-falloff-function>`__
falloff function. A mapping containing the keys ``A``, ``B``, ``C``, and
optionally ``D`` and ``E``. The default values for ``D`` and ``E`` are 1.0
and 0.0, respectively.

type: falloff
high-P-rate-constant: [6.00000E+14 cm^3/mol/s, 0, 0]
