Constructor Detail

IonSet

public IonSet()

Creates an empty IonSet. Must be then filled with the Ion s.

Method Detail

add

public void add(Ion i)

Adds an Ion to the IonSet. The last two Ion s have particular properties: are the "X" and "Last" Ion s.

Parameters:

i - the Ion to be added.

size

public int size()

Number of ions.

Returns:

number of Ion s.

get

public Ion get(int j)

Gets the n-th ion of the IonSet.

Returns:

the Ion.

calculate

public double calculate()
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Calculates the potential.

Returns:

the voltage across the liquid junction.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

calculate

public double calculate(java.io.PrintStream pst)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Calculates the potential. Also outputs a table, with the concentrations of the ions along the liquid junction, and the voltage.

Parameters:

pst - if not null, the table is sent here.

Returns:

the voltage across the liquid junction.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
