Struct SmrCase 

pub struct SmrCase {
    pub methane_feed: f64,
    pub steam_to_carbon: f64,
    pub temperature: f64,
    pub pressure: f64,
    pub volume: f64,
    pub forward: [ForwardRate; 2],
}

A fully-specified steady-state SMR CSTR case.

Fields

methane_feed: f64

Inlet methane molar flow [mol/s].

steam_to_carbon: f64

Steam-to-carbon ratio S/C [-] — inlet steam per inlet methane. Industrial reforming runs 2.5–3.5 to suppress carbon laydown; this model has no carbon chemistry, so a low S/C here is merely optimistic rather than visibly wrong.

temperature: f64

Reactor temperature [K], held constant (see the module’s scope note).

pressure: f64

Reactor pressure [Pa]. Enters only through the ideal-gas volumetric flow.

volume: f64

Tank volume V [m³].

forward: [ForwardRate; 2]

Forward Arrhenius pairs, in SmrReaction::BOTH order.

Implementations

impl SmrCase

pub fn inlet_flows(&self) -> Vec<f64>

Inlet molar flows, by Species::index. Only methane and steam are fed; the rest start at zero.

pub fn volumetric_flow(&self) -> f64

Inlet volumetric flow Q [m³/s] from the ideal gas law, Q = Σ F · R T / P.

Held constant through the reactor, which is the inherited assumption this model does not fix — see the module scope note.

pub fn feed(&self) -> ReactorFeed

Assemble the reactor feed.

pub fn residence_time(&self) -> f64

Nominal residence time τ = V/Q [s].

pub fn solve(&self) -> Result<SmrOutcome, ReactorError>

Solve the steady-state CSTR.

Errors

Propagates ReactorError from the underlying Newton solve — a non-positive volumetric flow, or failure to converge.
