Migrate "Science" docs - Githubissues

speth commented 7 months ago

Changes proposed in this pull request

Migrate content from the cantera-website "Science" section into the versioned Sphinx documentation
Significantly revise "species thermo" documentation
- document all SpeciesThermoInterpType models (e.g. NASA polynomials), models derived from PDSS (e.g. temperature-dependent density), and models where the parameters are processed directly by the ThermoPhase model (e.g. Peng-Robinson).
- Try to bridge the gap between the typical definition of "standard state" and Cantera's mixed usage of "reference state" and "standard state".
Reorganize reactor network docs to split out a tutorial (now in the "User Guide" section) and a description of the CVODES inner workings (now in the "Develop" section).

Thanks @speth --will get to it! Excited to see this come through (and wish I had done more to help get it there).
