Symbol | Description | Units |
---|---|---|
fφ | Fraction of initial pore space filled | length3/length3 |
fmass,k | Mass fraction of kth mineral component | g k/g total solid |
fV,k | Volume fraction of the kth phase | length3/length3 |
Nik | Moles of species i in phase k | Moles |
ρk | Density of phase k | mass/length3 |
p/qr | Isotopic ratio of nuclides p and q | |
Xis | Mole fraction of species i in the sth | mol i/mol mixture |
Units are generic where possible: length indicates a unit of length (cm, m, km), mass a gram-based units of mass (g or kg), and time a unit of time (e.g., years, a (annum or annorum) and millions of year, Ma). Moles are specifically denoted. |
