olm.calcite.palmerRate¶
- olm.calcite.palmerRate(T_C, PCO2, Sat_Ratio, rho=2.6, impure=True, interp_funcs=array([], dtype=float64))[source]¶
Calculates the calcite/limestone dissolution rate given temperature, PCO2, and a calcium saturation ratio using relationship from Palmer (1991).
- Parameters:
- T_Cfloat
Temperature in degrees Celcius.
- PCO2float
The partial pressure of CO2.
- Sat_Ratiofloat
The ratio of calcium concentration to the calcium concentration at equilibrium ([Ca]/[Ca]_eq).
- rhofloat
Density of rock in g/cm^3. (default=2.6)
- impureboolean
Whether to use the table values for impure calcite (True) or pure calcite (False). Impure calcite is more representative of typical limestone. (default = True)
- interp_funcstuple
Primarily for internal use by palmerFromSolution(). Contains interpolation functions for kinetic rate constants. Automatically calculated if not passed.
- Returns
- ——-
- Rfloat
calcite dissolution rate according to the Palmer (1991) equation (mm/yr)
