Estimate Cp(inf) for adsorbates #5
Comments
See cfgoldsmith#5 for more detailed version.
A brief note that when merging the official master, the treatment of default or omitted Cp0 and CpInf values during conversion from NASA polynomials changed. Just in case it makes a difference |
This isn't exactly the problem @mazeau is working on, but it's pretty close, and she hasn't opened an issue in the tracker for her problem, so I'm posting here. |
Addresses the comment in cfgoldsmith#5 (comment) but not actually issue #5.
During our conference call on 18.Sept.2018, I suggested that we adopt the classical limit, which I am pretty sure is what RMG does anyway (for gas phase, that would be (3/2 + 3/2 + 3 N -6)*R, where N is the number of atoms. I suggested that our original approach of 3 N *R for adsorbates was fine and wasn't likely to cause problems. However, I don't think that is true. Specifically, some of our adsorbates -- pretty much all of the vdW, but really anything with a weak binding energy -- use a 2D gas approximation for the vibrational modes that correspond to frustrated translation. In this case, the correct classical limit would be (3 N -1)*R. If the molecule is so weakly bound that we use the 2D gas approximation for frustrated rotation, then the limit becomes (3 N -2)*R. So right now RMG-Cat will somehow increase the Cp by 1 or 2 R for those cases. We need to figure out how to avoid this. |

RMG estimates Cp(0) and Cp(inf). For adsorbates, our current Cp(inf) is 3_N_R. This is not correct. The adsorbate can have internal rotors, and the four surface-adsorbate modes that are parallel to the surface will limit to 2D gas. A better estimate is:
Cp(inf) = 3_N_R - R * N_{rotors in gas phase} * Cp_{free rotors} - 2 * R * Cp(inf){2D translation} - 2 * R * Cp(inf){2D rotation} - R * Cp(inf){helicopter}
where:
Cp{free rotors} = 1/2
Cp(inf){2D translation} = 1/2
Cp(inf){2D rotation} = 1/2
Cp(inf)_{helicopter} = 1/2 or 1, depending upon the molecule and bond type. (e.g. 1/2 for single bonded polyatomic species, 1 otherwise)
We will fix this later. See Issue #1
