A Hierarchical Approach for Fast and Accurate Equilibrium Calculation
In the present paper an improved stoichiometric algorithm based on the successive single reaction equilibrium has been
described, avoiding the solution of large systems. The algorithm calculates the equilibrium composition adding automatically
suitable new reactions to improve the convergence. The algorithm has been tested for plasma composition calculation for a pure
nitrogen and air plasma mixtures. The algorithm proposed always converges and it is significantly faster than other hierarchical
algorithms
