Phase Split Parameters
Use this window to specify the parameters for the free energy minimization phase calculations. This is only available when the Reactor Operation Phase is specified as Calculated on the Unit Reaction Definitions Window.
Usage
Initial Phase Estimate
The reactor will determine the phase from the free energy minimization. This entry is the phase used for the initial reactor calculations.
First Phase Evaluation at Iteration
Specify the first iteration where the phase will be reevaluated. The phase should not be evaluated too early because the reaction results may still be far from the final solution.
Phase Evaluation Frequency
Specify the number of iterations between phase evaluations.
Minimum Phase Tolerance
When the molar ratio of a phase to the total quantity of material is less than this value, the phase is considered as non-existent.
How to get to this window
The Phase Split Parameters window is accessed by pressing the Phase Split Parameters button on the Solid Fuel Combustion Reactor Data Window.
