Description

• Chemical Solution

  • full thermodynamical state support: amount of substances, pressure, volume, temperature, electric potential, enthalpy, entropy
  • thermal, electric and mechanic connectors from Modelica Standard Library 4.0

• Chemical Substance

  • ideal gas substance model
    • with 6-parameters record as definition of gaseous chemical substance (all parameters of the substance are well described tabulated values)
  • incompressible substance model
    • with 7-parameters record as definition of liquid or solid chemical substance (all parameters of the substance are well described tabulated values)
  • example of more than 30 fully defined chemical substances
  • template for user substance models

• Chemical Reaction

  • any number of reactants and products
  • dissociation coefficient from free Gibbs energies (from substances definitions)
  • temperature dependences and heat flows from free enthalpies (from substances definitions)
  • new epoch making kinetics based with better fit with data

• Electro-chemical cell (batteries)

  • reduction-oxidation reactions with electron transfer to electic circuits
  • electrodes as solid chemical solutions
  • realistic disscharging curve without any lookup data

• Gas Dissolution

  • Henry's, Raoult's and Sieverts' in one component
  • dissolution coefficients from definition of substances

• Membrane

  • semipermeable membrane with selective transport of each substance
  • different substances can cross the membrane in both directions at the same time
  • osmotic transport for uncharges substances to reach osmotic equilibrium
  • reach Donnan's equilibrium of electorlytes
  • generate Nernst (Goldman-Hodgkin) electric potential on membrane

• Chemical Speciation of macromolecules

  • can rapidly simplify the equilibrium on macromolecule
  • allosteric effects
  • example of hemoglobin oxygen binding

• Diffusion

• Substance flow in stream of the solution

• Degradation

• Clearance

• ...

• Based on equilibration of the electro-chemical potentials.
