Dear Didier,
Can you briefly explain or direct me to the literature explaining how the gas and magnetic stripping loss rates are calculated in TraceWin?

Thank you

Dear Abhishek,

I've used reference below:

Dear Didier,
For the gas command "GAS C, N, P," how do we define the atomic number for a molecule?

Thank you

Dear Abhishek,

For gas stripping N is useless,

Dear Didier,

Thank you for your clarification. To ensure my understanding is correct, I should use the cross section and the pressure to estimate the gas stripping losses, correct?

Additionally, I have another question: If I need to simulate a mixture of two gases, should I input two Gas commands consecutively, each with its respective cross-section and pressure?

Thank you once again.

Warm regards,

Abhishek Pathak

Dear Abhishek,

Yes it's correct.
No, a new GAS command cancels and replaces the preceding one. You need to define an effective cross-section representative of the combination of your 2 gases.

Regards,

Didier
