Emission#

Emissions take the form:

\[\rightarrow \ce{X}\]

where \(\ce{X}\) is the species being emitted.

Emission rates are constant over the solver time step. A conforming implementation of version 1.0 of the configuration will provide ways to set the emission rate using the name of the reaction.

Input data for emissions have the following format:

type: EMISSION
name: foo-emit
gas phase: gas
scaling factor: 1.2
products:
  - species name: foo
    coefficient: 2.0

{
    "type": "EMISSION",
    "name": "foo-emit",
    "gas phase": "gas",
    "scaling factor": 1.2,
    "products": [
        {"species name": "foo", "coefficient": 2.0}
    ]
}

The products key is required and must be set to a list of species being emitted. The coefficient key is optional and, if not provided, is assumed to be 1.0.

The gas phase key is required and must be set to the name of the phase the reaction takes place in. Each product must be present in the specified phase.

The scaling factor is optional and can be used to set a constant scaling factor for the rate. When a scaling factor is not provided, it is assumed to be 1.0.

Rates are in \(\mbox{mol}\,\mathrm{m}^{-3}\,\mathrm{s^{-1}}\).
