Dear All,

I am trying to model liquid phase (solution) chemistry.

The "Defining Phases and Interfaces" document (2003) suggests that
defining ideal_solution instead of an ideal_gas in my cti file is the
way forwards, but this does not work for me. I have started to poke
around in the source code, and it at first glance it looks as if
some/much/all of the solution phase code is missing.

Eventually I will want to worry about solubilities, phase separation,
etc. but for now an ideal solution will be a useful start.

If someone could give me an idea where things stand I'd be most
grateful. Questions that spring to mind include:

Can I use Cantera to model reactions in liquids?
If not, how far off or broken is this functionality?
Is anyone working towards this?
How easy would it be for me to fix myself?
In the short term, is there a work-around? e.g. some way to use
ideal_gas phase to give useful results?

Many thanks,

Richard West
