eradiate.thermoprops.us76.f_above_115_km(g, t, dt_dz, mi, alpha)[source]#

Evaluates the function \(f\) defined by equation (36) in [NASA et al., 1976] in the altitude region \(115 < z <= 1000\) km.

Parameters:

  • g (float or array-like) – Values of gravity at the different altitudes [m/s^2].

  • t (float or array-like) – Values of temperature at the different altitudes [K].

  • dt_dz (float or array-like) – Values of temperature gradient at the different altitudes [K/m].

  • mi (float) – Species molar mass [kg/mol]

  • alpha (float) – Alpha thermal diffusion constant [dimensionless].

Returns:

array – Values of the function f at the different altitudes [m^-1].
