p2fCO2: Converts pCO2 (partial pressure in CO2) into fCO2 (fugacity of CO2)

Description

Converts pCO2 (partial pressure in CO2) into fCO2 (fugacity of CO2)

Usage

p2fCO2(T = 25, Patm=1, P=0, pCO2)

Arguments

T

Temperature in degrees Celsius, default is 25oC

Patm

Surface atmospheric pressure in atm, default is 1 atm

P

Hydrostatic pressure in bar, default is 0 bar (surface)

pCO2

Partial pressure in CO2 in $\mu$atm, the same units as that for the fugacity output

Value

• fCO2
  Fugacity of CO2 in $\mu$atm, the same units as that for the pCO2 input.
