exo_k.aerosol.util_aerosol.mmr_to_number_density(mmr, gas_density, r_eff, aerosols_bulk_density)

Converts a mass mixing ratio (mmr or q) in a number density of particles (in number per unit volume)

Parameters:

• mmr (float or array) – Mass mixing ratio (in kg per kg of air)

• gas_density (float or array) – Density of the gas (in kg/m^3)

• r_eff (float or array) – Effective radius of the particles (m)

• aerosols_bulk_density (float or array) – Density of the constituent of the condensed particles (in kg/m^3)

exo_k.aerosol.util_aerosol.mmr_to_number_density_ratio(mmr, Mgas, r_eff, aerosols_bulk_density)

Converts a mass mixing ratio (mmr or q) in a ratio between particles density and molecules density

Parameters:

• mmr (float or array) – Mass mixing ratio (in kg per kg of air)

• Mgas (float or array) – gas molar mass (in kg/mol)

• r_eff (float or array) – Effective radius of the particles (m)

• aerosols_bulk_density (float or array) – Density of the constituent of the condensed particles (in kg/m^3)
