Mixture#
Mixture is the “core” token in PyChemkin. It represents a gas-phase mixture by storing its pressure, temperature, and species composition. Stream is an extended “Class” of Mixture with the additional attribute of “mass/volumetric flow rate”. Mixture and Stream include utilities that can be used to evaluate the mixture properties (density, mixture enthalpy, mixture viscosity, …) and the reaction rates. There are also methods to manipulate the Mixture/Stream such as merging two mixtures adiabatically.
The examples demonstrate how to instantiate the Mixture/Stream objects, how to extract information and properties of a Mixture/Stream, and how to manipulate Mixture/Stream objects.
