Phreeqc Files: Using KINETICS block



David,

Hi -- I've been working with Jim Murray using PHREEQC for our
Environmental Modeling class.  I think the class went pretty well; with
some fits and starts we definitely learned a lot more about the problem
implementation, especially using the TRANSPORT block.

We ran into the following problem trying to use the KINETICS block:
One of our students was working on a final project, her input files are
below (the simplest one first).  She was trying to model an exponential
growth, and was running into the problem where PHREEQC was taking a long
time to do this calculation (it shouldn't take too long to do this?) and
her values were maxing out at whatever value she chose for the "formula"
for the organic matter, e.g., "phyto" and "12" in her first file.

We weren't sure if this was a coding problem, i.e., PHREEQC just doesn't
like the big numbers or if we just set up the problem wrong.  Any input
you have would be very helpful.

Thanks again,

Jennifer

Hey Jennifer.  Here are the three files I've been playing around with.
They are the really stripped donw version, one with everything and
multiple rate blocks, and one with everything and a single rate block.
Thanks for taking the time to look at these for me.
