//! A kinetics manager for heterogeneous reaction mechanisms. The reactions are
//! assumed to occur at a 2D interface between two 3D phases.
/*!
 * There are some important additions to the behavior of the kinetics class due
 * to the presence of multiple phases and a heterogeneous interface. If a
 * reactant phase doesn't exists, i.e., has a mole number of zero, a
 * heterogeneous reaction can not proceed from reactants to products. Note it
 * could perhaps proceed from products to reactants if all of the product phases
 * exist.
 *
 * In order to make the determination of whether a phase exists or not actually
 * involves the specification of additional information to the kinetics object.,
 * which heretofore has only had access to intrinsic field information about the
 * phases (i.e., temperature pressure, and mole fraction).
 *
 * The extrinsic specification of whether a phase exists or not must be
 * specified on top of the intrinsic calculation of the reaction rate. This
 * class carries a set of booleans indicating whether a phase in the
 * heterogeneous mechanism exists or not.
 *
 * Additionally, the class carries a set of booleans around indicating whether a
 * product phase is stable or not. If a phase is not thermodynamically stable,
 * it may be the case that a particular reaction in a heterogeneous mechanism
 * will create a product species in the unstable phase. However, other reactions
 * in the mechanism will destruct that species. This may cause oscillations in
 * the formation of the unstable phase from time step to time step within a ODE
 * solver, in practice. In order to avoid this situation, a set of booleans is
 * tracked which sets the stability of a phase. If a phase is deemed to be
 * unstable, then species in that phase will not be allowed to be birthed by the
 * kinetics operator. Nonexistent phases are deemed to be unstable by default,
 * but this can be changed.
