REINITIATE

This command is for the Gibbs Energy System (GES) module.

All data in the stored GIBBS workspace are erased, and all variables are initiated to their default values.

Syntax

reinitiate

Prompts

Upper case only /Y/:

Press <Enter> to keep the default where the name of elements and species is in only UPPER case. Or choose N to have the elements with two letter names with the first letter in Upper case and the second in lower case.

In upper case mode all input in lower case is automatically converted to upper case.
 

Lower temperature limit /298.15/: <Lowest T in K>

This value is used as the lower temperature limit when data are entered interactively.
 

Upper temperature limit /6000/: <Highest T in K>

This value is used as the upper temperature limit when data are entered interactively.
 

Default element reference state symbol index /1/: <1 or 2 or 3>

Specify a proper index for the default listing parameters (symbol), or press <Enter> to accept the preset index 1.

The index is for defining the symbol printed in listings of parameters. The symbol can be:

  • G: the data are referred to Gibbs energy at a variable temperature (also called Lattice Stability).
  • H298: the data are referred to the enthalpy of the element at 298.15 K and 1 bar.
  • H0 is the same as H298 but at the temperature 0 K.

The index only changes the symbol, not any value. Normally the index is set correctly by the database. Only when manually entering data must you set the index to get the correct symbol. Set the index value to 0 to get the symbol G, to 1 to get the symbol H298 and to 2 to get H0.
