Partial pressure distribution

Figure 8.9 Predicted three-dimensional distributions of oxygen partial pressure in tissue. Model simulations from Tsoukias et al. [196] are based on a realistic model of the microvascular network associated with skeletal muscle. Predicted partial pressure distributions are illustrated for a control simulation (upper panel) and for a simulation of hemodilution - reduced hematocrit - plus addition of blood substitute (lower panel.) Predicted oxygen tension in mmHg is indicated by grayscale. Figure provided courtesy of Nicolaos Tsoukias.

The acidity constant of a given acid in any solvent SH can then be calculated from Eq. (4-15) when its acidity constant in water at infinite dilution, the acidity constant of another acid HB in water and in solvent SH, and the activity term are all known. The values y A 7hb can be obtained from solubilities, partial pressures, distribution coefiicients, etc. The ratio /y can be determined potentiometrically, or from the solubility of salts. The values of. STsh calculated in this way correspond satisfactorily with the measured values. 

Equation (7.1-21) demonstrates that (he partial-pressure distribution is nonlinear in the case of steady-state unidirectional diffusion. 

Equations (7.1-14), (7.1-17), and (7.1-20) demonstrate that the partial-pressure distribution is linear in the case of steady-state equimolal counterdiflusion. 

Product Distribution. In addition to ethylene, many by-products are also formed. Typical product distributions for various feeds from a typical short residence time furnace are shown in Table 5. The product distribution is strongly influenced by residence time, hydrocarbon partial pressure, steam-to-od ratio, and coil outlet pressure. 

The emissive power of a fireball, however, will depend on the actual distribution of flame temperatures, partial pressure of combustion products, geometry of the combustion zone, and absorption of radiation in the fireball itself. The emissive power ( ) is therefore lower than the maximum emissive power (E ) of the black body radiation ... 

The heart of the question of non-ideality deals with the determination of the distribution of the respective system components between the liquid and gaseous phases. The concepts of fugacity and activity are fundamental to the interpretation of the non-ideal systems. For a pure ideal gas the fugacity is equal to the pressure, and for a component, i, in a mixture of ideal gases it is equal to its partial pressure yjP, where P is the system pressure. As the system pressure approaches zero, the fugacity approaches ideal. For many systems the deviations from unity are minor at system pressures less than 25 psig. 

It was also found experimentally that two solutes were distributed between a pair of solvents as if each were present. alone. (This is analogous to Dalton s law of partial pressures.)... 

Focusing on the example of a sohd/gas interface, in the following, we will describe how to evaluate the stabihty of non-electrochemical interfaces, which are not influenced by a potential apphed externally or caused by an inhomogeneous ion distribution within the system. In the case that both the solid and the gaseous phase are present in macroscopic quantities, we have already seen in the previous section that each of these reservoirs is characterized by its chemical potential fifT, pi), which for the non-electrochemical interface is a function of temperature and partial pressure. 

Gas diffusion in the nano-porous hydrophobic material under partial pressure gradient and at constant total pressure is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The dusty-gas model is used in which the porous media is presented as a system of hard spherical particles, uniformly distributed in the space. These particles are accepted as gas molecules with infinitely big mass. In the case of gas transport of two-component gas mixture (i = 1,2) the effective diffusion coefficient (Dj)eff of each of the...

For a first chemical model, we calculate the distribution of species in surface seawater, a problem first undertaken by Garrels and Thompson (1962 see also Thompson, 1992). We base our calculation on the major element composition of seawater (Table 6.2), as determined by chemical analysis. To set pH, we assume equilibrium with CO2 in the atmosphere (Table 6.3). Since the program will determine the HCOJ and water activities, setting the CO2 fugacity (about equal to partial pressure) fixes pH according to the reaction,...
