f2pCO2: Converts the CO2 fugacity to CO2 partial pressure

Description

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

Usage

f2pCO2(T = 25, Patm=1, P=0, fCO2)

Value

pCO2

Partial pressure of CO2 in \(\mu\)atm, the same units as that for the fCO2 input

Arguments

T

Temperature in degrees Celsius, default is 25oC

Patm

Surface atmospheric pressure in atm, default 1 atm

P

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

fCO2

Fugacity of CO2 in \(\mu\)atm, the same units as that for the pCO2 output
