rmgpy.kinetics.SurfaceArrhenius

The SurfaceArrhenius class uses a rate expression that is identical to the Arrhenius class:

$$k(T) = A \left( \frac{T}{T_0} \right)^n \exp \left( -\frac{E_\mathrm{a}}{RT} \right)$$

Above, A is the preexponential factor, T₀ is the reference temperature, n is the temperature exponent, and E_a is the activation energy.

The only difference is the units for A are in terms of surface concentration (mol/m²) instead of volume concentration (mol/m³).
