  Hi all,
  
  I've always been using surface mechanism of Deutschman. However I can not get very accurate results with this mechanism. Therefore I am trying to use another mechanism developed by Berkeley. I found in Berkeley mechanism bulk species PT( is included.
  
  I am wondering what this pt(b) is. If I include pt(b) in the mechanism, will it has effects on the results? I put the screenshot of berkeley's mechanism here.
  
  Best.

  Best to contact the authors where you got that.
  
  Under Bulk I understand gas or unbounded specie. This is logical if I just check the adsorption reactions.
