Exchange ratio

Alveolar ventilation supplies O2 to the bloodstream while alveolar capillary perfusion provides alveolar gas with COj. Resting individuals consume approximately 250 mL 02/min and produce approximately 200 ml. COi/min because, stoichiometrically, metabolic processes require a greater supply of O, than the quantity of CO2 produced. Defining the respiratory exchange ratio, R, as...

Furthermore, although other electrostatic models for the oxide/ water interface may yield different relationships among postulated system components, it appears unlikely that either Xp nor x alone will adequately represent the postulated true adsorbate/proton exchange ratio. 

The respiratory exchange ratio (usually abbreviated, RQ or R) should be known but, in practice, it makes little difference unless very high accuracy is required.

The most widely used zeolite in petroleum refining so far is Y zeolite. Currently, REUSY zeolite is the main active component of RFCC catalysts. However, in the course of hydrothermal preparation of ultrastable Y zeolite, nonframework aluminum debris formed by dealumination could block the channels thus influencing the ion-exchange ratio of rare earth as well as the accessibility of active sites [2],...

In order to maintain the air cleanliness in the area and airflow, the amount of air supplied and exhaust have to be balanced to keep the designed air exchange ratio, airflow pattern, and air pressure differentials. In each room the operation site should be maintained in the most suitable status. For such purposes, the following items must be carefully controlled ... 

Studies of the respiratory quotient or respiratory exchange ratio (RER) indicate a metabolic shift in CR rats depending on food availability, while there is little change in AL rats [21,42]. Figure 7 illustrates daily variations of RER with dietary regimen. Analysis of the food composition indicates an expected average value of RER of 0.89. RER in AL rats is 0.89 0.02 over a 24-hour period and is relatively more constant than that in CR rats, indicating that AL rats metabolize a constant ratio of carbohydrate and lipid over 24 hours [21, 42]. In contrast, CR animals metabolize more carbohydrate...

At this point we can be more explicit about what we mean by NMR time scale. We will define the dimensionless exchange ratio (R) as the total rate constant (k, in reciprocal seconds) divided by the difference in frequency between two exchanging signals (Av0, in hertz) ... 

Let us investigate what happens to the NMR spectrum of DMF as we increase the exchange ratio from the slow-exchange limit to the fast-exchange limit. 

Figure 10.1. The NMR lineshape for exchange between two equally populated sites [Eq. (10.1)] as a function of exchange ratio R. The following conditions are shown the slow-exchange limit (R = 0.10), moderately slow exchange (R = 2.66), coalescence (R = 4.44), moderately fast exchange (R = 8.90), and approaching the fast-exchange limit (R = 50).
