Description

Sylvain Prevost sent the following in November 2017 (subsequently lost and refound) regarding problems with this model. He believes there are two problems:

  • In the python code: concentration is rescaled from mol/dm3 to 1/A3 only for monomer concentration, not for salt concentration. Further, polymer concentration is probably a misnomer for monomeric units concentration
  • In the docs:
    • The definition of r02 is wrong, { b/√(48 pi Lb) } should be in the numerator, not the denominator: r02 = b / [ α √(Ca 48 pi Lb) ]
  • in the main equation, it should read r04, not r02
  • in the docs, the conversion of concentration from mol/dm3 to 1/A3 should be explicitly indicated before any equation
  • for consistency, in the main equation, it should read (q2 - 12 h/NA Ca / b2) where NA is Avogadro's constant (as h is supposedly in A3/mol, and assuming Ca has been converted to 1/A3
