Detailed Description

Abstract class to use adsorption process for tracers on surfaces.

Use the derived classes to use a certain isotherm

Public Member Functions
virtual Adsorption *	copy (real m=-1) const =0
	returns a copy of the Adsorption object.
virtual real	freesolute (real xt, real V) const =0
	Returns the mass of dissolved tracer as a function of the total tracer mass in the solute storage and the water volume.
virtual real	totalsolute (real xf, real V) const =0
	Returns the total mass of the tracer from the dissolved concetration in tracer unit/m3.

Member Function Documentation

copy()

virtual Adsorption * copy ( real m = -1 ) const

pure virtual

returns a copy of the Adsorption object.

If the adsorption is depending on the sorbent mass, you can give a positive value for the sorbent mass m. If the value is not given or negative, m is used from the original object.

Implemented in NullAdsorption, LinearAdsorption, and LangmuirAdsorption.

freesolute()

virtual real freesolute ( real xt, real V ) const

pure virtual

Returns the mass of dissolved tracer as a function of the total tracer mass in the solute storage and the water volume.

Parameters

xt	\(x_t\) the total tracer mass in the storage
V	\(V m^3\) the water volume in the storage

Returns

\(x_f\) the dissolved mass of the tracer

Implemented in NullAdsorption, LinearAdsorption, and LangmuirAdsorption.

totalsolute()

virtual real totalsolute ( real xf, real V ) const

pure virtual

Returns the total mass of the tracer from the dissolved concetration in tracer unit/m3.

Parameters

xf	\(x_f\) the dissolved tracer mass in the storage
V	\(V m^3\) the water volume in the storage

Returns

\(x_t\) the total mass of the tracer

Implemented in NullAdsorption, LinearAdsorption, and LangmuirAdsorption.
