Partition function for propene #40

Description

In the RASPA2 manual, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/numat/RASPA2/master/Docs/raspa.pdf

page 106,

ExternalTemperature 450.0

ExternalPressure 101300.

...

MoleculeName propene

LnPartitionFunction 87.1384

In version 2.0.37 manual, page 106

PartitionFunction 6.977909e37

looks to me the LnPartitionFunction was obtained by taking natural log on the previous version (exp(87.1384)~ 6.97...e37)

However, if I compare

https://github.com/numat/RASPA2/blob/master/examples/Tutorial/ReactionEnsembleAmmonia/simulation.input

N2

LnPartitionFunction 208.188

In version 2.0.37, examples/Tutorial/ReactionEnsembleAmmonia/simulation.input

N2 is

PartitionFunction 3.81253e4

that is not associated with exp, namely exp(208.188) >> 3.8..e4

I think in the N2 example, the atomization energy was used in the new partition function after version 2.0.37. (https://github.com/iRASPA/RASPA2/blob/master/ChangeLog.md, "Updated partition factors for ReactionEnsembleAmmonia example")

With/without atomization energies (from https://cccbdb.nist.gov/atomize2.asp, Propene about 3395 kJ/mol experimental atomization energies), I cannot obtain the 6.977909e37 for propene.

May I know how the propene partition function value was obtained? Thank you very much (reposted from the raspa2 forum https://forums.iraspa.org/index.php?topic=1247.0 )
