Literature references

[Fausto A. A. Barbuto]

Hi all,

I'm glad for having been accepted into this discussion group. My history as pyeq3 user goes back to the old zunzun.com days. I even communicated with James Phillips briefly during the time his site was active. Very kind and accessible gentleman. Long story made short: when James shut zunzun.com down, he suggested me that I should download the routines and make good use of them. I did that and developed pyeq3 callers of my own to suit my needs and I've been using these scripts since. One year or so ago, I found out that pyeq3 got crippled after I updated my computer to Python 3.10 -- a parser library obsolescence issue I wasn't able to work around. But now that pyeq3 is a PyPI package, I'm happy I will not have to struggle to keep the package running any more.

I'm a Brazilian chemical engineer, now retired after 40+ years working for the oil and gas industry - but still playing with programming and mathematical modelling. 

Introductions done, here comes the main course.

I've been playing with the fitting of a thermodynamical entity and found out that the Reza Custom One Model works very nicely with regard to what I'm doing. I looked for the biblio reference about this model but pyeq3's documentation is silent about this. I wasn't lucky with Google, either. I then realized that pyeq3 has lots of models but no references about them, where they came from, how were they developed, etc. I plan to write a white paper on this little endeavour and the reference to Reza's work may become necessary. I wonder if someone could help me out finding the reference to at least this Reza's work. I also wonder if some pyeq3 maintainer is already working on putting this huge task (collecting references to all models) together. 

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

F.

Dear Fausto,

I'm glad that you're using the PyPI release, it makes the effort worth it!

I'm afraid I don't have much information about the origins of the model functions - it would be nice to document these.  Do feel free to add documentation to the source code on GitHub if you want - I'm happy to review and merge your requests.
