Chemodynamic process

In the /u. — n diagram again a rectangle results. Altogether the seawater is diluted by freshwater, and some power energy is generated. If we dilute the seawater by simply pouring in freshwater, then only the entropy of the system would increase. With the machine, the dilution becomes possible only under achievement of power work. As a result of the different tension at both rollers different torques arise codl and the system delivers mechanical work. In principle, the chemodynamic process dilutes the seawater. The dilution does not take place now simply via the addition of freshwater into the seawater, but that process uses the dilution work. By the way, the reversal of the process effects the production of freshwater. 

This section contains time-tested, useful theoretical equations of chemodynamic processes in a solid porous media zone adjacent to a fluid. All cases presented assume a semi-infinite solid geometry and transient chemical concentration behavior in the y-dimension. Although a seemingly absurd shape, it realistically represents earthen... 

The subject of environmental mass transport is a broad and complex. Many individual chemodynamic processes occur both within the natural media compartments and across the natural interfaces and they impact the magnitude of chemical movement rates. With several transport processes occurring simultaneously in series and in parallel, certain procedures need to be followed for their proper accounting of all. The objective of this chapter is to make the user generally aware of the most significant individual processes and the necessary procedures for combining these to obtain the overall chemical mass flux. The subject is about the fundamentals...

The advective porewater flux. The preceding discussion was concerned with water flow in both directions across the bed sediment/water interface of aquatic environments. It is necessary at this point to put this water flow into the context of the chemodynamic process, which is occurring across the interface. The flux of a chemical species between different concentrations in water is traditionally expressed by... 

Many chemodynamic processes occur in parallel in the sediment bed. For example, molecular diffusion is always present and occurs simultaneously with the bottom roughness induced Darcian process. So, the combined processes result in a MTC which is the sum of fes(diff) and s(bro). See Section 2.2 for more information on parallel and series processes. Also see Example Calculation 11.5.2 below.

Plowing events are best viewed as a chemodynamic process that instantly mixes the soil column over the bioturbated (plowing) depth h and establishes a uniform chemical concentration throughout. A transient diffusion period is initiated that is well modeled by the semi-infinite slab solution to Pick s second law (see Section 2.7.1). The outward chemical flux within the soil column can be closely modeled by... 

In order to predict pollutant chemodynamics of COMs and/or their leachates, the transport parameters involved in the governing sets of equations that describe the transport process need to be defined accurately [1]. In general, methods used to calculate the transport parameters fall into two broad categories, i. e., steady and transient states.

The advantage of this treatment is that the total mol numbers are constant. We can then easily deal this reaction as a chemodynamic cycle. If in a combustion process the mol numbers are changing, then it is more advantageous to use the masses instead of the mol numbers. In the view of a chemodynamic cycle a combustion engine is still a four-stroke engine, but the meaning of the individual processes is different in comparison to those what a technician would explain ... 

Sorption to soil solids and plant cuticular material represents an important process influencing the chemodynamic behavior of insecticides, including their transport in surface runoff Sorption phenomena affect the volatilization, hydrolysis, photolysis and microbial transformation of organophosphorus insecticides. Furthermore, species sorbed to soil particles are transported by erosion processes rather than as solutes in the water phase. Sorption to foliar surfaces reduces the amount of pesticide mobilized by washoff. 

The remainder of the chapter contains several, practical, mathematical, vignette chemodynamic models. These are simple but useful chemical fate models for obtaining numerical results when the dominant or controlling transport process is known. Those selected for presentation have stood the test of time, having proved useful to the authors on numerous occasions. 

The conservation of mass, performed by applying the Lavosier species mass balance to chemicals in the natural media, is the basic concept underlying environmental chemodynamics. The species CE is the result and is a good context in which to present the various types of chemical mass transport processes needed for environmental chemical modeling and chemical fate analysis. For constant physical properties first-order reaction, and dilute solutions in any media the CE in vector notation is... 

Chemical mass balances use flux, the definitive term for chemical mobility, in their formulation (Bird et al., 2002). It simplifies, clarifies, and unifies the derivation procedure needed in this complex subject. Therefore, fluxes are imbedded in the CE. Decomposing Equation 2.1, as is done in the following paragraph, reveals the basic flux terms and provides an entrde to the ones used in chemodynamic modeling and the mass-transport processes covered in this book. By assuming steady-state, constant properties, no reaction, dilute solution (i.e., <5%) and focusing only on the z-dimension Equation 2.1 can be written as ... 

A total of 41 individual processes have been identified as being most significant in order to realistically describe the mass transfer chemodynamics in natural systems. The list appears in Table 4.1 and all are covered in Chapters 5 through 20 where detailed descriptions and data are presented. The processes are divided into foiu broad categories (1) the air-water interface, (2) the water-sediment interface, (3) the soil-air interface, and (4) intramedia processes. Water, as used in Table 4.1, includes ice and snow. Some are well known and have been studied in detail while others have not. Specifically these include advection and dispersion processes within the atmosphere, water bodies, and the groundwater associated with soils and sediments. Although plants and the built urban environment are separate phases they are grouped with the air phase. 

These hyporheic flows can have a significant effect on the chemodynamic transport process at the water sediment interface. Unfortunately, advective water velocities are often incorrectly assumed to be equivalent to be mass-transfer coefficients. The simplicity and convenience of that interpretation propagates the tradition of misuse. Details will be presented in a subsequent section on the correct theoretical approach to apply the MTC interpretation to hyporheic flow-driven processes. 

Estimating the MTC for the bank water exchange process. Details concerning the theory were presented above in Sections 11.3.2 and 11.3.3. The chemical flux concept in equation form, such as Equation 11.2, requires that advection be connected to other on-going in-bed transport processes such as diffusion. Advection in a chemodynamic context cannot be considered a stand-alone process. The molecular diffusion transport process is used in Equation 11.5 however, it can be generalized to accommodate any diffusive-type process and the appropriate MTC. As such the appropriate sediment-side MTC is... 

At many locales, other factors operate to influence and change the initial porosity in the top 1 m zone of the bed, which is of primary interest with regard to contaminant chemodynamics. These factors include bioturbation, particle resuspen-sion/deposition, and compaction. The initial porosities term used in the previous paragraph generally denotes the sediment layers in the top 1-20 cm of the bed. Bioturbation, when present, is primarily a particle and porewater mixing process caused by macrofauna species living on the bed, within it or both, which continually perturbs the physical and chemical structure of the bed. (See Chapter 13 for specific... 

In a somewhat analogous fashion, the upper layers of aquatic sediments become contaminated by human activities and natural processes. Direct discharges from municipal, industrial, and agricultural sources deliver chemical contaminants to nearby water bodies where they deposit from the water column onto the sediment surface and eventually become mixed into the upper sediment layers. Once these contaminant sources are reduced or stopped the continued mixing of the sediments reverses the transport chemodynamics and reintroduces the contaminants into the water column. This chapter examines mixing processes on the sediment side of the interface that are capable of mobilizing chemicals in both directions across the sediment-water interface.
