Chemical Mechanism for Model LiCl salt interactions with water and heat.

[K G-A]

I am about to model an absorption cooling cycle which uses LiCl salt to absorb and desorb water in the cooling system.

What Chemical Mechanism like the GRI or Aramco is suitable for this simulation?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry I meant what input file for LiCl do I need and where can I get one?

Regards,

Kofi.

I created an YAML Input File foe LiCl solution interactions with water and heat.

To test is I used Cantera to print the YAML Input File and it gave the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CanteraError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

      1 import cantera as ct
----> 2 sol = ct.Solution('5-LiCl_water_corrected_Version2.yaml')
      3 print(sol)

File build\\python\\cantera\\solutionbase.pyx:160, in cantera.solutionbase._SolutionBase._init_yaml()

CanteraError:
*******************************************************************************
CanteraError thrown by Factory::canonicalize:
No such type: 'stoichiometric'
*******************************************************************************

I am using Jupyter notebook in VS Code running conda 24.11.3

Any help on the NO such type as 'stoichiometric' will be appreciated. 

stoichiometric is not specified for type but for in phases for thermo as so

phases:

- name: LiCl_solid

  thermo: stoichiometric

  species: [LiCl(s)]

- name: pure_water

  thermo: stoichiometric

  species: [H2O(l)]

I have attached the YAML file too.

Thank you in advance for your help.
