A modified Arrhenius reaction rate given by:
k = (A * T^beta * exp(-Ta/T))*a
Where a is the phase surface area per unit volume. The name of the phase is
specified by the user.
Example usage:
oxidationAtSurface
{
type irreversiblePhaseSurfaceArrhenius;
reaction "O2^0 + TiCl4 = TiO2_s + 2Cl2";
A 4.9e1; // The pre-exponential factor is in units
// equal to that in the usual volumetric
// reaction rate **divided by length**, as
// the Arrhenius expression is taken to give
// rate per unit area, not per unit volume
beta 0.0;
Ta 8993;
phase particles;
}
This reaction has been applied to the titaniaSynthesisSurface tutorial,
which avoids the need for explicit caching of the surface area density
field.
