Boundary conditions permeability

FIG. 2 The xy and a 3D projection of a typical osmotic MD simulation system. The semi-permeable membrane walls are in the yz plane. Periodic boundary conditions automatically generate an infinite pair of walls, infinite in the yz (transverse) directions, with alternating solution and solvent cells, each of thickness half the system width.

The solution of Eq. 1 requires specification of boundary conditions (BCs) and additional equation(s) that describe the sorption reaction. The assumptions reflected in these choices strongly influence the process of extrapolating barrier performance from laboratory column data. Furthermore, as discussed below, there are significant differences in the treatment of these choices between low- and high-permeability systems. 

Because diffusion dominates the transport of contaminants in barriers and columns constructed of low-permeability materials, model calibrations and predictions are extremely sensitive to the form of the specified boundary conditions. Two issues are of particular importance 1) treatment of the entrance mixing zone in laboratory columns, and 2) specification of appropriate BCs to represent a slurry wall under field conditions. 

Abstract In this contribution, the coupled flow of liquids and gases in capillary thermoelastic porous materials is investigated by using a continuum mechanical model based on the Theory of Porous Media. The movement of the phases is influenced by the capillarity forces, the relative permeability, the temperature and the given boundary conditions. In the examined porous body, the capillary effect is caused by the intermolecular forces of cohesion and adhesion of the constituents involved. The treatment of the capillary problem, based on thermomechanical investigations, yields the result that the capillarity force is a volume interaction force. Moreover, the friction interaction forces caused by the motion of the constituents are included in the mechanical model. The relative permeability depends on the saturation of the porous body which is considered in the mechanical model. In order to describe the thermo-elastic behaviour, the balance equation of energy for the mixture must be taken into account. The aim of this investigation is to provide with a numerical simulation of the behavior of liquid and gas phases in a thermo-elastic porous body. 

Here (11), (12) are the diffusion equations with reversible hydrogen capture by the traps the initial conditions (13) the nonlinear boundary conditions of the third type (14), (15) the expressions (16), (17) describe change of concentration beside surfaces when cracker periodically is turned on and off. Note, that boundary condition (14) is true when cracker is turned off, the last expression in (17) is obtained from (14), (15) when the stationary mode of permeability is reached. The designations of parameters and functions in this model are the same as in model (1)-(10), but without subscripts.

Example 7-3. A 100 gm thick plastic film contains an initial concentration of 100 mg/kg of some additive. This film is brought in direct contact with another 100 pm thick plastic film of the same material initially containing no additive. Assuming ideal contact between the two films (i.e. no boundary conditions exist to hinder the transfer across the interface). The exterior sides of the films are not permeable (they are in contact with a glass or metal surface). The diffusion coefficient of the additive is 3E-7 cm2/s for both films. What is the concentration on the outside of the second film after one minute contact time ... 

The boundary conditions for concentration reflect the asymptotic approach to the fluid composition at the inlet and the permeability properties of both walls... 

Here, Kt are the mass transfer coefficients (permeabilities) for each wall, and CL, and CUi are the ambient concentrations of each component i outside the lower and upper walls, respectively. Sometimes, selective membranes may be used as the walls. These membranes may be permeable to selected components only. For example, in a purification process, the membrane would be permeable to one of the solutes only. In a concentration process, both walls can be impermeable to the selected solute. Equations (7.151) and (7.152) describe the thermodynamically and mathematically coupled heat and mass flows at stationary conditions and may be solved with boundary conditions and with some simplifications (Coelho and Telles, 2002).

A major breakthrough in the study of gas and v or transport in polymer membranes was achieved by Daynes in 1920 He pointed out that steady-state permeability measurements could only lead to the determination of the product EMcd and not their separate values. He showed that, under boundary conditions which were easy to achieve experimentally, D is related to the time retired to achieve steady state permeation throu an initially degassed membrane. The so-called diffusion time lag , 6, is obtained by back-extrapolation to the time axis of the pseudo-steady-state portion of the pressure buildup in a low pressure downstream receiving vdume for a transient permeation experiment. As shown in Eq. (6), the time lag is quantitatively related to the diffusion coefficient and the membrane thickness, , for the simple case where both ko and D are constants. 

The velocity and concentration profiles are developed along the HFs by means of the mass conservation equation and the associated boundary conditions for the solute in the inner fluid. This analysis separates the effects of the operation variables, such as hydrodynamic conditions and the geometry of the system, from the mass transfer properties of the system, described by diffusion coefficients in the aqueous and organic phases and by membrane permeability. The solution of such equations usually involves numerical methods. Different applications can be found in the literature, for example, separation and concentration of phenol, Cr(VI), etc. [48-51].

Figure 1. Initial and boundary conditions for the model problem. Undersaturated flow enters from the left, causing the reaction front to migrate gradually downstream. Shaded portion of the aquifer contains 5% reactive cement, resulting in a porosity of 5% and a permeability of 1 millidarcy. Upstream of the reaction front the porosity is 10% and the permeability is 10 millidarcies.
