Reactor Property |
Specifies a fixed-phase constraint on the equilibrium calculation.

If there is only one phase in the chemistry set, the phase constraint has no effect. | |||

Reactor Property |
Specify the eEQMqual-mass spray parcel formation option in the DI engine model. This option must be used together with the user-defined injection mass rate profile for the injection. By default, the spray parcels are formed and released at constant time interval; that is, the parcels might not have the same liquid mass if the injection rate profile is not constant. When the mass injection rate profile is uniform (that is, no user-profile is used), the spray parcels always contain the same liquid mass and are released at the same time interval. | |||

Inlet Property | A piecewise-linear continuous profile can be used to describe a non-uniform injection rate profile. The piecewise profile should be given by a series of data points of normalized crank angle and injection rate pair. The normalized crank angle (CA) data must be arranged in ascending order from 0.0 to 1.0.

Keyword Usage |
Optional keyword. By default, no flamelet table is exported.

When continuations are used, the filename is appended with "_n" where n is the continuation number+1 .

Reactor Models |

Reactor Property |
This keyword indicates that a flux balance will determine the mass fractions of the species at the inlet (rather than a fixed composition). If FLUX is specified, the REAC keywords are used to determine the convective mass flux in, which is balanced against diffusive fluxes to dynamically determine the inlet gas composition.

Reactor Property |
Use extrapolation to obtain species mass fractions at the outflow (or hot) boundary. By default, PREMIX assumes all species have zero mass fraction gradients at the outflow boundary. However, for pollutant species such as NO, their concentrations are still growing in the post flame region so that their mass fraction profiles have positive gradients at the outflow boundary. The extrapolation boundary condition provides a proper outflow treatment when mass fraction gradients are not zero at the outflow boundary. | |||

This keyword specifies that the rates of all gas-phase reactions will be multiplied (scaled) by the factor GFAC.

In addition, setting GFAC and SFAC to zero for a perfectly stirred reactor simulation, enables the Non-reactive Gas Mixer Reactor Model. | |||

Restart |
On continuations or restarts, the number of mesh points can be reduced. Twopnt itself does not remove grid points. Therefore, on a sequence of continuation problems the number of grid points can grow because the region where they are needed may change. JJRG thus provides a capability to remove grid points. The old solution is adaptively interpolated onto a new grid of JJRG points. When JJRG is added, its effect is carried over to the subsequent continuations, if any. Often this is not desired. To prevent its operation, JJRG can be set to a high value, such as the maximum number of grid-points. The reduction of grid points then does not happen since JJRG does not add grid-points. | |||

Inlet or Reactor Property |
Defines the oxidizer mole fraction composition for an inlet stream in an open system, or for the initial conditions in a closed system, when an equivalence ratio is specified ( EQUI). It must be followed by a species name and then the mole fraction. One of these OXID inputs must appear for each oxidizer species, which are used to determine the inlet composition based on an equivalence-ratio calculation ( EQUI). Any given species can participate simultaneously as a fuel, oxidizer, or product. The sum of all the oxidizer mole fractions should equal one. If it does not, a warning message will be printed and the mole fractions will be normalized so the sum does equal one. | |||
Parameters |
Optional/Reqd. |
Units |
Examples | |
Inlet stream name (PSRs only) |
Optional If there is no stream name than the oxidizer mole fraction composition applies to the default or all defined streams. |
