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_C : float
Temperature in degrees Celcius.
- PCO2 : float
The partial pressure of CO2.
- Sat_Ratio : float
The ratio of calcium concentration to the calcium concentration at equilibrium ([Ca]/[Ca]_eq).
- rho : float
Density of rock in g/cm^3. (default=2.6)
- impure : boolean
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_funcs : tuple
Primarily for internal use by palmerFromSolution(). Contains interpolation functions for kinetic rate constants. Automatically calculated if not passed.
- Returns
- ——-
- R : float
calcite dissolution rate according to the Palmer (1991) equation (mm/yr)
