2.0 General Contaminant Phase Partitioning and Loss Rate Theory
This section describes some basic attributes of the source-term release
module that are applicable to any of the three types of contaminant source
zones addressed by it. Firstly, it discusses the different kinds
of contaminants that can be included in problem scenarios, and how the
source-term release module obtains certain basic physicochemical properties
(for each contaminant) that it needs for its calculations. Secondly,
it discusses the overall phase partitioning theory implemented in the module.
Thirdly, it discusses the general mathematical form of the expressions
used for contaminant mass loss flux rate.
