CHEMP
CHEMP provides data for calculating the thermophysical properties of the NAPL/chemical. The units of many of these constants are not standard metric units, and care must be taken to ensure that the appropriate units are used. Most of the data used in this block can be taken from Appendix A of Reid et al. (1987), where the same units are used as here.

Record CHEMP.7
Free format for 5 parameters, or Format (5E10.4)
VLOAM, VLOBM, VLOCM, VLODM, VOLCRITM
Two options are available for calculating the NAPL liquid viscosity. The liquid viscosity constants VLOAM - VLODM for the desired NAPL may be assigned data given in Table 9-8 of Reid et al. (1987), and the viscosity will be calculated using a polynomial fit to actual viscosity data (Eq. 4.3.11 in TMVOC user manual). Alternatively, VLOAM and VLOBM may be set equal to 0, and VLOCM and VLODM are assigned equal to a reference viscosity and a reference temperature, respectively. In this case, the viscosity is calculated from a more general (and less accurate) empirical correlation (Van Velzen et al., 1972).
VLOAM liquid NAPL viscosity constant from Reid et al. (1987).
VLOBM liquid NAPI viscosity constant from Reid et al. (1987).
VLOCM liquid NAPL viscosity constant from Reid et al. (1987). If VLOAM and VLOBM = 0, VLOCM is reference NAPL viscosity in units of cP (1 cP = 10-3 Pa-s).
VLODM liquid NAPL viscosity constant from Reid et al. (1987). If VLOAM and VLOBM = 0, VLODM is reference temperature for NAPL viscosity in units of Kelvin.
VOLCRITM chemical critical volume, cm3/mole.
Record CHEMP.8
Free format for 4 parameters, or Format (4E10.4)
SOLAM, SOLBM, SOLCM, SOLDM
The chemical solubility is calculated from the polynomial SOLUBILITY = SOLAM + SOLBM*T + SOLCM* + SOLDM* . If data for the solubility as a function of temperature are available, then SOLAM, SOLBM, SOLCM, and SOLDM should be calculated from a polynomial fit of the data. If such data are not available (the usual case), the solubility will be assumed to be constant, and SOLAM should be set equal to the known solubility, with SOLBM, SOLCM, and SOLDM set equal to 0.

SOLBM constant for chemical solubility in water, mole fraction/.
SOLCM constant for chemical solubility in water, mole fraction/.
SOLDM constant for chemical solubility in water, mole fraction/.
Record CHEMP.9
Free format for 3 parameters, or Format (3E10.4)
OCKM, FOXM, ALAMM
OCKM chemical organic carbon partition coefficient Koc (see Eq. 4.4.2 in TMVOC user manual), m3/kg.
FOCM default value for fraction of organic carbon in soil, used for all domains for which no specific value is provided in record ROCKS.1.1.
ALAMM decay constant for biodegradation of VOC, s-1. Biodegradation is assumed to take place only in the aqueous phase, and to follow a first order decay law, MVOC(t) = MVOC,0 * exp (-λ t). The decay constant λ = ALAMM is expressed in terms of the half life T1/2 of the VOC as follows: λ = (ln 2) / T1/2. Default is ALAMM = 0.
