Specie

Options

The specie model represents the lowest-level thermophysical entity, responsible for:

• the specie name,
• molecular weight, $W$ [kg/kmol],
• number of mols, $n$ [mol], and
• gas constant $R_g$ [J/kg/K].

Usage

specie
{
    molWeight       <molecular-weight>

    // Optional; default = 1
    massFraction    <fraction>
}

Note that the gas constant is a derived quantity, calculated as:

$$R_g = \frac{R}{W}$$

Where $R$ is the universal gas constant with the value 8.314 [J/K/mol]
