A channels

A simpler phenomenological form of Eq. 13 or 12 is useful. This may be approached by using Eq. 4 or its equivalent, Eq. 9, with the rate constants determined for Na+ transport. Solving for the AG using Eqn. (3) and taking AG to equal AHf, that is the AS = 0, the temperature dependence of ix can be calculated as shown in Fig. 16A. In spite of the complex series of barriers and states of the channel, a plot of log ix vs the inverse temperature (°K) is linear. Accordingly, the series of barriers can be expressed as a simple rate process with a mean enthalpy of activation AH even though the transport requires ten rate constants to describe it mechanistically.

Experiments were conducted with air through micro-channel A = 319 (friction factor. The relative surface roughness was low k /H = 0.001) and Kn < 0.001, thus the experiments were effectively isolated from the influence of surface roughness and rarefaction. The local friction factor is plotted versus Ma in Fig. 2.25 for air. The experimental A increases about 8% above the theoretical A as Ma increases to 0.35.

Figure 8. Simultaneous measurement of intracellular Ca and oxidant production in neutrophils. Cells were labeled with Quin-2 and suspended at 2 x lo cells/mL buffer. At time zero, 1 nJf FLPEP was added (upper trace in each panel). In addition, the receptor blocker tBOC was added (3 x 10" M) after 30 s to stop further binding of the stimulus (lower trace in each panel). The excitation wavelength was 3A0 nm. Top panel Quin-2 fluorescence determined on channel B (of Figure 1) using a Corion A90-nm interference filter. The crossover from the superoxide assay has been subtracted. Middle panel Oxidant production (superoxide equivalents) determined by the para-hydroxyphenylacetate assay. Fluorescence was observed at AOO nm (on channel A of Figure 1).

Figure 9. Increase of intracellular Ca stimulated by various HCH isomers. Cells were labeled with lndo-1 and suspended at 2 X 10 cells/mL buffer at 37°C. The HCH isomers were dissolved in DMSO and added to the cell suspensions such that the final HCH concentration was 260 pff and the final DMSO concentation was 0.25% (v/v). The various isomers are indicated in the plot. The control is DMSO alone. The data are plotted as the ratio of fluorescence at 400 nm (measured on channel A) to that at 490 nm (measured through a Corion 490-nm interference filter on channel B).

As a result of symmetry, it was only necessary to model one quarter of the flow channel. A series of simulations were performed using a set of nominal operating conditions. These conditions are summarized in Table I.
