Flux rate, calculation

The area of the fire tube is normally calculated based on a heat flux rate of lO.OOO Btu/hr-ft-. The fire-tube length can be determined from ... 

Fluxes are linear functions of reservoir contents. Reservoir size and the residence time of the carbon in the reservoir are the parameters used in the functions. Between the ocean and the atmosphere and within the ocean, fluxes rates are calculated theoretically using size of the reservoir, surface area of contact between reservoirs, concentration of CO2, partial pressures of CO2, temperature, and solubility as factors. The flux of carbon into the vegetation reservoir is a function of the size of the carbon pool and a fertilization effect of increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Flux from vegetation into the atmosphere is a function of respiration rates estimated by Whittaker and Likens (79) and the decomposition of short-lived organic matter which was assumed to be half of the gross assimilation or equal to the amount transferred to dead organic matter. Carbon in organic matter that decomposes slowly is transferred... 

When the pollutant concentration difference between the source and collection reservoir becomes smaller (i. e., when the concentration of pollutants in the collection reservoir approaches that of the source reservoir), the flux rate of pollutants decreases, and a near steady state flux (Js) is obtained (Fig. 3c). At this time, the diffusion parameter (D) can be calculated using Fick s model as follows ... 

Reactions 1 and 6 in Table 8.4 were identified as the reactions that control the S2 and S02 concentrations, respectively, while reactions 2 and 4 control the S concentration with some contribution from reaction 1. Reaction 6 was the major one for the SO flux rate. The three reactions involving H2S were said to play an important role. SH was found to be controlled by reactions 1-5. Because the first eight reactions were found to be fast, it was concluded that they rapidly establish and maintain equilibrium so that the species S, S2, H2S, SH, SO, and S02 are efficiently interrelated. Thus relative concentrations, such as those of SO and S02, can be calculated from thermodynamic considerations at the local gas temperature from the system of reactions... 

Results. Figure 8.2 gives steady-state profiles of O2 and CH4 and the corresponding reaction rates calculated with the model for the fixed root system defined in Assumption 9. Net O2 consumption is 460 tLmolm h net CH4 emission is 480tLmolm h the fractions of the O2 and CH4 fluxes through the plant are 0.84 and 0.97, respectively, and the fraction of CH4 oxidized prior to emission is 0.13. These are all credible numbers.

Once steady state is achieved, the flux of each phase is calculated. Steady state is considered attained when the saturation and flow rates of both phases do not change any more. The corresponding absolute flux is calculated by modifying the two-phase LB model, where a body force is applied to one phase and the density of the other phase is rendered zero at all locations. Finally, the ratio of flux of each phase from the two-phase calculation to the one obtained from the singlephase calculation gives the relative permeability related to the saturation level. 

Then the boundary condition on YsjH4 can be derived by equating the flux as calculated from continuum arguments to the flux, as computed from kinetic theory. The result is a mixed, nonlinear boundary condition involving YsiH4 ar,d dYsiH4- From this, we can evaluate the rate at which a silicon film will grow on the hot wall. 

SimpleBox is a multimedia mass balance model of the so-called Mackay type. It represents the environment as a series of well-mixed boxes of air, water, sediment, soil, and vegetation (compartments). Calculations start with user-specified emission fluxes into the compartments. Intermedia mass transfer fluxes and degradation fluxes are calculated by the model on the basis of user-specified mass transfer coefficients and degradation rate constants. The model performs a simultaneous mass balance calculation for all the compartments, and produces steady-state concentrations in... 

The use of stable isotopic tracers is based on following a labeled compound from one pool (the source pool) to another (the target pool) (Sheppard, 1962). The principles described below are the same regardless of whether one is measuring rates in the water column or sediment. What changes are the protocols used to isolate the different fractions prior to isotopic analysis. The basic equation to calculate the flux rate from one pool to another is ... 

For sites 417/418, the fluxes are calculated from the super composite, which is dominantly composed of materials from sites 417 and 418A and offer a grand average for these sites. In its upper 200 m, this composite includes about 20% of the oxidatively weathered materials from site 417A. Sites 417/418 and 735 are the only deep drill holes displaying average recovery rates >70%, allowing a quantitative reconstruction of... 

Experiments were carried out with Ionac MC 3470 to determine the self-diffusion coefficient values for H+ and Al + in the coupled transport. Data points were used from the experiment involving 2N acid sweep solution in Figure 34.24b, presented later. These values formed the basis for aluminum transport rate or flux (7ai) calculation at different time intervals. The equilibrium data generated in Figure 34.20b were used in conjunction with Equation 34.25 to determine the interdiffusion coefficient values. Local equilibrium was assumed at the membrane-water interface. Eigure 34.24a shows computed Dai,h values for this membrane. When compared with Dai,h values for Nafion 117, it was noticed that the drop in interdiffusion coefficient values was not so steep, indicative of slow kinetics. The model discussed earlier was applied to determine the self-diffusion coefficient values of aluminum and hydrogen ions in Ionac MC 3470 membrane. A notable point was that the osmosis effect was not taken into account in this case, as no significant osmosis was observed in a separate experiment. 

These values are used in the calculation of the mass transfer rate factors form Eqs. 9.3.38, the high flux correction factors from Eqs. 9.3.39 and, hence, new values of the high flux mass transfer coefficients. The cycle of flux-coefficient calculations is repeated and after 10 iterations we obtain the following converged values ... 

Skin-snake-model percutaneous absorption Relationships between the in vitro permeability of basic compounds through shed-snake skin as a suitable model membrane for human stratum corneum and their physio-chemical properties were investigated. Compounds with low pKa values were selected to compare the permeabilities of the nonionized forms of the compounds. Steady-state penetration was achieved immediately without a lag time for all compounds. Flux rate and permeability coefficient were calculated from the steady-state penetration data and relationships between these parameters and the physico-chemical properties were investigated. The results showed that permeability may be controlled by the lipophilicity and the molecular size of the compounds. Equations were developed to predict the permeability from the MWs and the partition coefficients of basic compounds.
