This link extends GunnsFluidReactor with a reaction efficiency that is linearly dependent on the temperature of the fluid passing through the link. This is similar to how GunnsFluidHotAdsorber extends GunnsFluidAdsorber.

Use this link rather than the simpler GunnsFluidReactor when you need reaction rates to be dependent on temperature.

Similar to the GunnsFluidHotAdsorber, the reaction efficiency is a linear function of fluid temperature, with the function specified as configuration data. The resulting efficiency is limited to (0-1), with zero being no reaction at all, and 1 being the full reaction rate that the GunnsFluidReactor would normally produce. The link models heat convection between the walls and the fluid. Note that unlike the adsorber link, the reaction efficiency calculation uses the fluid inlet temperature before this convection takes place. All reactions use the same efficiency value.

This link is set up and connected to nodes in the same ways as a GunnsFluidReactor.

Port Connection Rules (These are limitations on the port connection to nodes that the link enforces in run-time):

• Same as GunnsFluidConductor.

Other Rules (These are extra rules you should always try to follow):

• Do not mix fluid phases across the link. That is, both nodes should contain the same phase (gas or liquid), and not different phases.
