fraction_to_ratio: Convert fractional abundance to isotope ratio

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Description

fraction_to_ratio converts the fractional abundance of a heavy isotope to its corresponding isotope ratio. For example, the fracitonal abundance of {}^{18}O is {}^{18}F = {}^{18}O / ({}^{16}O + {}^{18}O).

Usage

1
fraction_to_ratio(fracAbund)

Arguments

fracAbund

The fractional abundance of a heavy isotope, [-].

Details

{}^{A}R = {}^{A}F (1 - {}^{A}F)

Where A is the heavy isotope of interest, F is the fractional abundance [-], and R is the isotope ratio [-].

Value

A unitless numeric value.
