In ophthalmological application, this characteristic of the PFCLs is not used yet. In general, the products used are air equilibrated with the consequence that the oxygen partial pressure in the eye is increased from 15 Torr to 160 Torr and the CO2 partial pressure drops down from 50 Torr to 3 Torr initially. These differences are equilibrated intra-ocularly by diffusion processes, but the initial difference to the physiological level of gas concentration activates the constriction of the retinal vessels, resulting in an increase of the blood flow. In rabbit eyes, a damage of the retina could be attributed to this mechanism [38,39], On the other hand, endotamponade media with controlled levels of dissolved gases could not only avoid such a scenario but should also be useable for a therapeutic manipulation of the retinal perfusion.

As a simple example of mass transfer we will consider a glass filled with water in a room of dry air. Immediately above the liquid surface there is a large amount of water vapour, whilst further away there is far less. As a result of this concentration drop the air enriches itself with water vapour. This flows in the direction of the concentration or partial pressure drop. In a volume element above the surface of the water, the velocity of the water molecules perpendicular to the liquid surface...

Mass Transfer Effects. Concerning exterior mass transfer to the catalyst, the method of Yang and Hougen (25) was applied to determine the partial pressure drops of the reactants across the gas film. The calculation indicated that for the highest reaction rates observed the partial pressure drops between the main gas stream and external surface of the catalyst did not exceed 0.1% of their ambient values. This shows that the effect of mass transfer across the gas film was negligible. 

To eliminate the possibility of a measurement artifact at low concentrations, the C02 partial pressure of some blood was increased to 100 mm Hg by bubbling C02 through the blood. The transfer of C02 from this blood is shown in Figure 4. Here the C02 partial pressure dropped from 85 mm Hg to 51 mm Hg in 154 min, using oxygen bubbles without liquid membranes (formed directly in the blood), and... 

Soft Drinks The partial pressure of CO2 inside a bottle of soft drink is 4.0 atm at 25°C. The solubihty of CO2 is 0.12 mol/L. When the bottle is opened, the partial pressure drops to 3.0 x 10 atm. What is the solubility of CO2 in the open drink Express your answer in grams per liter. 

In experimental kinetic studies in particular, the question often arises if the partial pressure drop Ap over the so-called external film may be neglected. One has to check whether or not it is allowed to substitute p i, the partial pressure of /I in the bulk fluid stream, into the rate equation for the reaction. The value of k, is determined from a correlation, such as Eq. 3.2.a-5 with Eq. 3.2.a-2,3. 

Estimation of the Partial Pressure Drop over the Film Estimation of Viscosities... 

It is of some interest to indicate the rather large pressure changes in pores that reaction can cause. Either eq. (48) or (49) indicate that for gas reactions the total pressure difference between the pore mouth and the interior of a pore (center of a catalyst pellet) is at least of the order of the partial pressure change of A. Thus in fast dehydrogenation reactions at atmospheric pressure, the interior of a pellet may be at several atmospheres pressure. For reactions on small pores in which Knudsen flow is occurring this calculation can be carried out with absolute accuracy. The result is that for the reaction A qB, the pressure increase in the pore is equal to (Ma/Mb) — 1) times the partial pressure drop in A, where Ma and Mb are the molecular weights of A and B. 

In addition, this diffusivity describes the mobility within a differential thickness element inside a membrane rather than an average across the entire membrane. This diffusivity is specified for a specific penetrant concentration or partial pressure. It corresponds to what would be obtained from an experiment using an infinitesimal partial pressure drop across the membrane. 

Perluorosulfonated ionomer membranes have high water permeabilities and excellent selectivities for water over most gases and organic liquids. These membranes have been shown to be useful for dehydration applications. Water transport in these membranes is non-Fickian. Water permeability and solubility coefficient vary with water vapor pressure. Concentration dependent thermodynamic diffusion coefficients have been obtained by combining the steady state water permeability data and the equilibrium sorption data. These diffusion coefficients correspond to what would be obtained from an experiment with infinitismal partial pressure drop across the membrane. 

Similarly, if the anode RH is very low, for example, 10%, membrane performance will increase with anode humidification. If the cathode RH is high, the membrane can be humidified through water back diffusion from cathode to anode when the hydrogen humidification is low. On the other hand, if the hydrogen humidity increases, the hydrogen partial pressure drops, and under this situation the hydrogen humidity has little effect on cell performance (see Figure 10.31). 

Start with the assumption that p = Pa or ApA = 0. it can be shown by L Hopital s rule that in this case pfA = pt + SaPa- With this value of pfA, the mass transfer coefficient kg is calculated by means of (3.2.1-5), and with this kg the partial pressure drop ApA is obtained from relationship (3.3-1). Substitution of ApA in (3.2.1-3) gives a better estimate for pfA with which a new value for kg and ApA is computed. The cycle is continued until convergence of the ApA values is obtained. 

ESTIMATION OF THE PARTIAL PRESSURE DROP OVER THE FILM... 

Now the partial pressure drop can be calculated. Assuming that ApA = 0 and with Sa= I, the film pressure factor for a reaction A R+ S becomes... 

The results of such calculations are shown in Figs. 4-9 and 4-10. The latter figure is an expansion of the left-hand side of Fig. 4-9. Raoult s law for ether is shown as a straight line from the vapor pressure of ether at the right-hand side of the diagram to zero at the left-hand side. On the basis of the above assumptions, this line is used only for values Xe from 0.933 to 1.0. From xe = 0.009 to 0.933 the partial pressure of ether is constant, and from Xe = 0,009 the partial pressure drops on a straight line to 0 at x = 0. A similar construction is used for water. The sum of the two partial-pressure curves is the total pressure. This is also shown. 

In passing from the alveoli to the hemoglobin, the oxygen partial pressure drops by 10 mmHg or 1.3 x 10 Pa. It is also known that oxygen is supplied to the blood at a rate of 200 mL/min or 1.5 x 10 moles/s. We can use these data to calculate an overall resistance to oxygen transfer, using Equation 1.10a. The results are as follows ...
