-
Completely reevaluated rate data that
is consistent with the current literature.
-
use of pressure dependent rates for
relevent reactions
-
thorough evaluation of rates for which
there is no consensus in the literature
-
verification of the change in mechanism
performance following the rate updates through smog chamber modeling
|
-
Newly recommended photolysis data consistent
with the current literature.
-
thorough review of the available photolysis
data sources
-
completely explicit representation
of all of the relevent photolysis reactions
|
-
Reevaluated organic reaction mechanisms
that reflect the best available information and coincide with the updated
inorganic reactions.
-
updated product stoichiometry for the
olefin and ethylene reaction sets
-
explicit methane representation
