## Variables

const int NONE = 0

const int NO_ERROR = 0

const int UNKNOWN_REACTION_TYPE = -100

const int UNKNOWN_RATE_COEFF_TYPE = -200

const int NOT_YET_IMPLEMENTED = -300

Reaction Types
const int ELEMENTARY_RXN = 1
A reaction with a rate coefficient that depends only on temperature.

const int THREE_BODY_RXN = 2
A reaction that requires a third-body collision partner.

const int FALLOFF_RXN = 4
The general form for an association or dissociation reaction, with a pressure-dependent rate.

const int PLOG_RXN = 5
A pressure-dependent rate expression consisting of several Arrhenius rate expressions evaluated at different pressures.

const int CHEBYSHEV_RXN = 6
A general pressure-dependent reaction where k(T,P) is defined in terms of a bivariate Chebyshev polynomial.

const int CHEMACT_RXN = 8
A chemical activation reaction.

const int SURFACE_RXN = 20
A reaction occurring on a surface.

const int EDGE_RXN = 22
A reaction occurring at a one-dimensional interface between two surface phases.

const int GLOBAL_RXN = 30
A global reaction.

Rate Coefficient Types

These types define the supported rate coefficient types for elementary reactions.

Any of these may also be used as the high and low-pressure limits of falloff and chemical activation reactions.

Note that not all of these are currently implemented!

Todo:
Finish implementing reaction rate types.
