Arrhenius_iso: Isothermal Arrhenius model

In bioinactivation: Mathematical Modelling of (Dynamic) Microbial Inactivation

Description

Returns the predicted logarithmic reduction in microbial count according to Arrhenius model for the time, temperature and model parameters given.

Usage

Arrhenius_iso(time, temp, k_ref, temp_ref, Ea)

Arguments

time	numeric indicating the time at which the prediction is taken.
temp	numeric indicating the temperature of the treatment.
k_ref	numeric indicating the inactivation rate at the reference temperature.
temp_ref	numeric indicating the reference temperature.
Ea	numeric indicating the activation energy.

Value

A numeric with the predicted logarithmic reduction (log10(N/N0)).
