Rayleigh model

Rayleigh distillation model describes the evolution of a multiple-phase system in which one phase is continuously removed to the other phase through fractional distillation. Despite its simplicity, it is a powerful framework to describe in particular the isotopic enrichment or depletion as material moves between reservoirs in an equilibrium process.

Model description

The system applying the Rayleigh equation is normally an open system from which the formed material is immediately removed. For example, the evaporation of the natural water bodies, and the formation of falling precipitation can be regarded as open systems. However, the Rayleigh equation can be also applied to other systems. One such system is a closed system (or two-phase equilibrium model; Gat, (1996)), where the material removed from one reservoir accumulates in a second reservoir in such a manner that isotopic equilibrium is maintained between the two reservoirs. An example would be the condensation of vapour to droplets in a cloud (with no falling precipitation).

The isotopic enrichment or depletion by the Rayleigh process for both open and closed systems can be mathematically established by different approaches (Fig. 1). The Rayleigh equations that are used to describe isotopic evolution of the remaining reservoir under different conditions are summarized in Table 1. The isotope ratio of the accumulated removal can be derived using mass conservation of rare isotopes between the reservoir and formed removal: [math]\displaystyle{ fR_\text{remain} + (1-f)R_\text{remove,acc} = R_0 }[/math]. In the case of condensation involving both liquid and solid phases, the accumulation is a combination of the formed removal of both phases. First, following the equation above, the total liquid removal is calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ R_\text{l,acc} = (R_0-fR_v)/(1-f) }[/math]. Then, we consider a separated Rayleigh process by only taking into account of the ongoing formation of solid phase. Following the same reasoning as above, the isotope ratio of the accumulated solid removal is calculated by [math]\displaystyle{ f_iR_\text{i,v} + (1-f_i)R_\text{i,acc} = R_\text{v0} }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ R_\text{v0} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ R_\text{i,v} }[/math] are the isotope ratio of the remaining vapour at the start and the calculating point of the solid condensation stage, respectively, and [math]\displaystyle{ f_i }[/math] the fraction of remaining vapour within the solid condensation stage. Finally and again, using mass conservation of rare isotopes, we obtain the isotope ratio of the total accumulation of the removal by [math]\displaystyle{ (1-ff_i)R_\text{acc} = (1-f)R_\text{l,acc} + f(1-f_i)R_\text{i,acc} }[/math]. The examples of the calculated isotopic evolution profiles are shown in Fig. 2.

Figure 1 Schematic presentation of the mathematical approaches of the Rayleigh model in open system (a, b) and closed system (c). Adapted from Gat et al (2001). (a) From a reservoir containing N abundant isotopologues (e.g. H₂¹⁶O) and N_i rare isotopologues (e.g. H₂¹⁸O or HD¹⁶O) small amounts of both species, dN and dN_i respectively, are being removed under equilibrium fractionation conditions: [math]\displaystyle{ dN_i/dN = αR }[/math]. (b) The changing isotopic composition of the reservoir is calculated from a mass balance consideration for the rare isotopologues: [math]\displaystyle{ RN = (R-dR)(N-dN) + αRdN }[/math]. (c) In closed system, the changing isotopic composition of the reservoir can be calculated from a mass balance consideration for the rare isotopologues: [math]\displaystyle{ R_0N_0 = R(N_0-dN) + αRdN }[/math], with the remaining fraction [math]\displaystyle{ f = (N_0-dN)/N_0 }[/math].

Figure 2 Isotopic change during (a), (c) Rayleigh evaporation, and (b), (d) Rayleigh condensation. Rayleigh evaporation occurs at 20 °C (thus a constant fractionation factor) for initial liquid compositions of δ¹⁸O = -10 ‰ and δD = -70 ‰ (d = 10 ‰), in open system with unsaturated (RH = 75 %; black) or saturated (grey) environment, and closed system (blue). Rayleigh condensation occurs under continuous cooling (thus also a contentiously changing fractionation factor) from T = 20 °C and RH = 75 %. The initial vapour compositions are δ¹⁸O = -13 ‰ and δD = -94 ‰ (d = 10 ‰). For the condensation to ice below 0 °C, two circumstances are presented. The saturation circumstance (grey) is a classical Rayleigh process where vapour forms ice crystals under equilibrium conditions, using the saturation pressure over ice (e_i). The supersaturation circumstance (black) takes into account the supersaturation over ice where the ambient vapour pressure is e_v = S_i*e_i. S_i is the defined saturation ratio, as e_v/e_i, and here takes the form S_i = 1-0.004T after Risi et al (2010a). In this circumstance, the fractionation factor combining equilibrium and kinetic effects given by Jouzel & Merlivat (1984) is used.

Rayleigh condensation

% rayleigh_condensation.m
%--------------------------------
% Description:
% - simple Rayleigh condensation model, after Stern and Blisniuk, 2002
% - temperature dependent fractionation factor varies at each step during cooling process
%   (1) isobaric cooling: e.g., air parcel advects to cold regions
%   (2) or pseudoadiabatic cooling: e.g., updraft or lift of surface air parcel
% - therefore, the isotope ratio is calculated as: R(n+1) = R(n)(q(n+1)/q(n))^(a-1)
%--------------------------------
% input variables: T0 (Kelvin), RH0 (%), d18O0 (permil), d2H0 (permil),
%                  sice: saturation conditions over ice when temperature <0 degree
%                        > 1: using the constant supersaturation given as sice;
%                        = 1: meaning alpha_k = 1, thus no supersaturation;
%                        = 0: using formula Si = 1-0.004*T (in Celsius)
