Uranium-series Disequilibrium Modeling

The previous four chapters deal with the fractionation of stable trace elements during partial melting. In this chapter, we study the behaviors of radioactive uranium decay series during partial melting. Since quantitative models for uranium-series disequilibria need to include additional parameters in decay constants and are thus more complicated, for simplicity, we assume that the partition coefficients remain constant during partial melting. Thus, we only present modal dynamic melting.
