This is a conversion of QCPE 460 (FALLOFF) for use on the IBM 4381 (VS FORTRAN, release 4.1). Several improvements to the program have been made, most of them minor. Three corrections had to be made in the RRKM program. The first was to replace a pressure- dependent factor in the denominator of the RRKM integral with the required partition function, that of the active modes of the unexcited reactant. Next, we supplied a missing factor of 2 in the partition function for 3-dimensional rotations. Last, we removed a redundancy in the accounting for external rotations in the calculation of the specific heat. Further revision and changes to the program are as follows: 1. The input formats for both RRKM and MASTER programs have changed considerably. 2. RRKM can technically accept up to three reaction channels, even though the output file format statements are set up for the previously allowed one or two channels. 3. Up to nine free internal rotations are permitted, as compared with the original two. 4. Either two or three external dimensions may be considered adiabatic. 5. Solutions of the master equation for more than one temperature are allowed with a single input file. 6. The output from RRKM lists relevant thermodynamic parameters. 7. The output from MASTER no longer lists 1/N(E) and now lists the collisional efficiency b and the Lindemann-Hinshelwood broadening factor, FLH. FORTRAN 77 (IBM VS FORTRAN) Lines of Code: 4720 |
