Condensation in Dust-enriched Systems, by D.S. Ebel and L. Grossman,
Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1999
Complete condensation calculations were performed from 2400K down to the last temperature step where our criteria for adequate convergence could be met, usually between 1100 and 1300K, and up to dust/gas enrichment factors of 1000x relative to solar composition, hereinafter abbreviated as "dust enrichments of 1000x". The extremes of 10-3 bar and 10-6 bar were chosen to bracket the generally accepted range of Ptot in the inner solar nebula (Wood and Morfill, 1988). Results are shown at four different dust enrichments at 10-6 bar in Table 7 and at 10-3 bar in Table 8. In these tables, appearance and disappearance temperatures are defined as the highest temperature steps at which a phase is either part of or becomes absent from the stable condensate assemblage. In figures showing elemental distributions among coexisting phases, the fraction of an element present in a phase at its appearance temperature is extrapolated to zero in the next highest temperature step.
