eradiate.thermoprops.us76.f_below_115_km(g, t, dt_dz, m, mi, alpha, d, k)[source]#

Evaluates the function \(f\) defined by equation (36) in [NASA et al., 1976] in the altitude region \(86 <= z <= 115\) 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].

  • m (float) – Molar mass [kg/mol].

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

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

  • d (float or array-like) – Values of the thermal diffusion coefficient at the different altitudes [m^2/s].

  • k (float or array-like) – Values of the Eddy diffusion coefficient at the different altitudes [m^2/s].

Returns:

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