***************** **Reaction Rate** ***************** :: Reaction Rate = ----------------------- **Description / Usage** ----------------------- This card is used to specify rates of species electrochemical reactions in the anode and cathode regions in a LiSi/LiCl-KCl/FeS2 thermal battery cell using Butler-Volmer kinetics. This property currently allows for a single {model_name} which has two parameters: +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |**ELECTRODE_KINETICS**|the name of reaction rate model | | | | | | * - Anodic direction transfer coefficient | | | * - Cathodic direction transfer coefficient | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Two companion cards, *THERMODYNAMIC POTENTIAL* and *INTERFACIAL AREA* are required to complete the specification of parameters present in the Butler-Volmer kinetic model of current density. ------------ **Examples** ------------ The following are two sample cards: :: Reaction Rate = ELECTRODE_KINETICS 0.5 0.5 :: Reaction Rate = ELECTRODE_KINETICS 1.0 1.0 ------------------------- **Technical Discussion** ------------------------- No Discussion. -------------- **References** -------------- No References.
