Oxygen curve equation

Oxygenation curves of hemoglobin are often fitted with the Adair equation (Eq. 7-12). Thus, at pH 7.4 under the conditions given in Table 7-2, Imai125 found for the successive formation constants Kj = 0.004, K2 = 0.009, K3 = 0.002 and fQ = 0.95 in units of mm Hg 1. From the definition of a formation constant the oxygen... 

FIGURE 4.18 The exact numerical (open circles) and the analytical (sohd hue, Equation 4.128) polarization curves of the CCL with the ideal oxygen transport. Dashed lines the low- and high-current curves. Equations 4.129 and 4.133, respectively. The exact numerical points are calculated with y heing the exact solution to Equation 4.122, while the analytical curve (4.128) is calculated with the approximate y given hy Equation 4.127. The current density is normalized to j = Opb/lci- Parameter ci = 1 and e = 100 (PEEC cathode. Table 5.7). Note the transition from normal to double Tafel slope at the current densities around io = 2. 

The analytical CCL polarization curve Equation 4.189 is compared to the exact numerical solution of the system (4.53) and (4.54) in Eigure 4.21. A reference value ofDrt = 1.37 10 cm s is taken from measurements (Shen et al., 2011). The curves in Eigure 4.21 correspond to the indicated ratios D/Dre/- Clearly, as this ratio tends to infinity, the analytical and numerical results tend to the diffusion-free polarization curve Equation 4.141. Note that as b decreases, the overpotential due to oxygen transport increases, and the accuracy of the model drops. Nonetheless, in the region of currents Jo < 1, the model works well for D/Dref as small as 0.1 (Figure 4.21). 

We can determine quantitatively the physiological significance of the sigmoid nature of the hemoglobin oxygen-binding curve, or, in other words, the biological importance of cooperativity. The equation... 

The experimentally observed oxygen-binding curve for Hb does not fit the graph given in Figure A15.3 exactly. If we generalize Equation (A15.10) by replacing the exponent 4 by n, we can write the equation as...

References to a number of other kinetic studies of the decomposition of Ni(HC02)2 have been given [375]. Erofe evet al. [1026] observed that doping altered the rate of reaction of this solid and, from conductivity data, concluded that the initial step involves electron transfer (HCOO- - HCOO +e-). Fox et al. [118], using particles of homogeneous size, showed that both the reaction rate and the shape of a time curves were sensitive to the mean particle diameter. However, since the reported measurements refer to reactions at different temperatures, it is at least possible that some part of the effects described could be temperature effects. Decomposition of nickel formate in oxygen [60] yielded NiO and C02 only the shapes of the a—time curves were comparable in some respects with those for reaction in vacuum and E = 160 15 kJ mole-1. Criado et al. [1031] used the Prout—Tompkins equation [eqn. (9)] in a non-isothermal kinetic analysis of nickel formate decomposition and obtained E = 100 4 kJ mole-1. 

The results of this study demonstrated that the rate of oxygen transfer across a clean air-water interface was diffusion-controlled on the time scale of SECM measurements. The rate of this transfer process was, however, significantly reduced with increasing compression of a 1-octadecanol monolayer. Figure 28 illustrates this point, showing approach curves for O2 reduction recorded with the monolayer at different surface pressures. The transfer rate was found to depend on the accessible free area of the interface, as described by the following equation ... 

The anodic evolution of oxygen takes place at platinum and other noble metal electrodes at high overpotentials. The polarization curve obeys the Tafel equation in the potential range from 1.2 to 2.0 V with a b value between 0.10 and 0.13. Under these conditions, the rate-controlling process is probably the oxidation of hydroxide ions or water molecules on the surface of the electrode covered with surface oxide ... 

In the published literature efforts exist to plot the so-called total chemiluminescence intensity (TLI) (surface below the chemiluminescence curve) vs. amount of oxygen absorbed [15]. In some cases a straight line may be obtained. A more detailed examination of the Equation (6) reveals that rate of oxygen uptake is in fact involved, so that we have... 

Figure 13.10 shows the calibration curve of the LED-based optical oxygen sensor compared with the calibration curve of a commercially available Clark-type sensor (Ingold Electrodes, Wilmington, Massachusetts). While the Clark-type shows a linear calibration, the optical sensor allows a hyperbolic response as predicted by the Stem-Volmer-type equation 72 ...
