*************************** **Thermodynamic Potential** *************************** :: Thermodynamic Potential = {model_name} {float_list} ----------------------- **Description / Usage** ----------------------- This card is used to specify the anodic or cathodic thermodynamic potential in a thermal battery cell. +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |{model_name} |Name of thermodynamic potential model. Currently, two thermodynamic potential models | | |are available, namely **LiSi** and **FeS2**. Each of these and their accompanying | | |input parameters (the ) is given below: | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |**LiSi** |This model requires seven floating-point parameters: | | | | | | * - Limit of electrode utilization for the first anode reaction. | | | * - Limit of electrode utilization for the second anode reaction. | | | * - Anode thickness. | | | * - Anode porosity. | | | * - Molar volume of active anode material. | | | * - Current density output by the thermal battery cell. | | | * - Number of electrons involved in anode reactions. | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |**FeS2** |This model requires eight floating-point parameters: | | | | | | * - Limit of electrode utilization for the first cathode reaction. | | | * - Limit of electrode utilization for the second cathode reaction. | | | * - Limit of electrode utilization for the third cathode reaction. | | | * - Cathode thickness. | | | * - Cathode porosity. | | | * - Molar volume of active cathode material. | | | * - Current density output by the thermal battery cell. | | | * - Number of electrons involved in cathode reactions. | +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------ **Examples** ------------ The following are two sample input cards: :: Thermodynamic Potential = LiSi 0.283 0.474 0.088 0.275 54.61 0.0246 3.25 :: Thermodynamic Potential = FeS2 0.375 0.434 0.5 0.046 0.244 23.93 0.0246 4.0 ------------------------- **Technical Discussion** ------------------------- No Discussion.
