3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

MINEQL is a subroutine package  to calculate equilibrium composition of an aqueous system, accounting for mass transfer.
MINEQL-EIR contains an additional base on enthalpy and heat capacity data and has the option to do calculations at temperatures different from 25 degrees C.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

In MINEQL, the Gibbs free-energy function is minimized and mass balance chemical reaction equations are solved simultaneously.
In MINEQL-EIR, the iteration scheme to solve the system of equations has been improved to make the probability of divergence very small.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

MINEQL does not take into account mass transfer of water molecules.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME:
USCD1097/04
The test case described in the original documentation has been executed by NEA-DB on a VAX-11/780 computer in 11 seconds of CPU time. This package contains additional six test cases, which  have also been executed interactively.

USCD1097/05
NEA-DB compiled the program and executed the test case  included in this package on a DELL 466/L 66 MHZ PC/80486. Execution  time was 1.2 seconds.
