Troe Reaction ============= Troe (fall-off) reaction rate constant equations take the form: .. math:: \frac{k_0[\mathrm{M}]}{1 + \frac{k_0[\mathrm{M}]}{k_{\infty}}} F_C^{\left(1 + \frac{1}{N} [\log_{10}(\frac{k_0[\mathrm{M}]}{k_{\infty}})]^2\right)^{-1}} where: - :math:`k_0` is the low-pressure limiting rate constant, - :math:`k_{\infty}` is the high-pressure limiting rate constant, - :math:`[\mathrm{M}]` is the density of air, - :math:`F_C` and :math:`N` are parameters that determine the shape of the fall-off curve, and are typically 0.6 and 1.0, respectively :cite:`Finlayson-Pitts2000` :cite:`Gipson`. :math:`k_0` and :math:`k_{\infty}` are calculated as `Arrhenius` rate constants with :math:`D=300` and :math:`E=0`. Input data for Troe reactions have the following format: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: YAML .. code-block:: yaml type: TROE k0_A: 5.6e-12 k0_B: -1.8 k0_C: 180.0 kinf_A: 3.4e-12 kinf_B: -1.6 kinf_C: 104.1 Fc: 0.7 N: 0.9 time unit: MIN reactants: spec1: {} spec2: qty: 2 products: spec3: {} spec4: yield: 0.65 .. tab-item:: JSON .. code-block:: json { "type": "TROE", "k0_A": 5.6e-12, "k0_B": -1.8, "k0_C": 180.0, "kinf_A": 3.4e-12, "kinf_B": -1.6, "kinf_C": 104.1, "Fc": 0.7, "N": 0.9, "time unit": "MIN", "reactants": { "spec1": {}, "spec2": { "qty": 2 } }, "products": { "spec3": {}, "spec4": { "yield": 0.65 } } } The key-value pairs ``reactants`` and ``products`` are required. Reactants without a ``qty`` value are assumed to appear once in the reaction equation. Products without a specified ``yield`` are assumed to have a yield of 1.0. The two sets of parameters beginning with ``k0_`` and ``kinf_`` are the `Arrhenius` parameters for the :math:`k_0` and :math:`k_{\infty}` rate constants, respectively. When not present, ``_A`` parameters are assumed to be 1.0, ``_B`` to be 0.0, ``_C`` to be 0.0, ``Fc`` to be 0.6, and ``N`` to be 1.0. The unit for time is assumed to be s, but inclusion of the optional key-value pair ``time unit`` = ``MIN`` can be used to indicate a rate with minutes as the time unit.
