Carbon balance
Script for evaluating carbon balance
Barron Henderson wrote:
[I created] an evaluation script to preserve balances going forward as the mechanism evolves (e.g., as isoprene gets updated).
Currently, this done using an off-line script described in a linked note. The approach is pretty straight-forward, but could be expanded to check conservation of functional groups as suggested by Mat.
Longer term, the same technique would ideally be built-in to the standard KPP as an optional report. I discussed it with Michael Long and we both think that KPP has most of the capability for atom conservation (if not all). It may simply be a matter of defining the chemical formulas in the *.spc file.
