Description
I suggest/request an improvement to the documentation for coverage-dependencies that shows up at
https://cantera.org/documentation/dev/sphinx/html/yaml/reactions.html#interface
coverage-dependencies
A mapping of species names to coverage dependence parameters, where these parameters are contained in a mapping with the fields:a
Coefficient for exponential dependence on the coveragem
Power-law exponent of coverage dependenceE
Activation energy dependence on coverage
Example:
equation: 2 H(s) => H2 + 2 Pt(s)
rate-constant: {A: 3.7e21 cm^2/mol/s, b: 0, Ea: 67400 J/mol}
coverage-dependencies: {H(s): {a: 0, m: 0, E: -6000 J/mol}}
It's factually correct, but you need to cross-reference with the documentation at
https://cantera.org/science/reactions.html#surface-reactions
and read the equations carefully and think to be sure that you get the sign right on
Some researchers publish using
There's no mistake in Cantera's documentation, and it's consistent with Chemkin's, but given the high potential for error here (speaking from experience), I think we could be more explicit and can afford a few extra words (especially as the chosen example has a negative value for E).
I can open a PR if nobody beats me to it, but wanted to at least open an issue before I forget.
