Chemical reaction details

The chemical species involved in the reaction and their stoichiometric coefficients are listed after the rxnSpecies keyword in the constant/rxnProperties case file. The species “e” must always be in the list. Its coefficient is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction. The list is read by appSrc file readRxnProperties.H, where a hash table, rxnSpCoef, is created. Thus a specie’s stoichiometric coefficient can be obtained via its name, e.g., rxnSpCoef["O2"], or rxnSpCoef[airSpecies[i].name()].
