In this section, we describe our experimental and analysis methods to determine spatially dependent porosity and saturation distributions, permeability functions and saturation-dependent multiphase flow properties the relative permeability and capillary pressure functions. 

Relative permeability and capillary pressure functions, collectively called multiphase flow functions, are required to describe the flow of two or more fluid phases through permeable media. These functions primarily depend on fluid saturation, although they also depend on the direction of saturation change, and in the case of relative permeabilities, the capillary number (or ratio of capillary forces to viscous forces). Dynamic experiments are used to determine these properties [32]. 

While capillary pressure can be determined independently through experiments implementing a series of equilibrium states, this can be very time consuming, particularly if the entire capillary pressure function is to be reconciled. Furthermore, as there can be difficulties in re-establishing identical states of initial saturation, it is most desirable to determine capillary pressure and relative permeability functions simultaneously, from the same experiment. 

We present a general approach for estimating relative permeability and capillary pressure functions from displacement experiments. The accuracy with which these functions are estimated will depend on the information content of the measurements, and hence on the experimental design. We determine measures of the accuracy with which the functions are estimated, and use these measures to evaluate different experimental designs. In addition to data measured during conventional displacement experiments, we show that the use of multiple injection rates and saturation distributions measured with MRI can substantially increase the accuracy of estimates of multiphase flow functions. 

Results of the covariance analysis for the accuracy of estimates of the relative permeability of water and capillary pressure functions, along with the specified true functions, are shown in Figures 4.1.9 and 4.1.10 (the results for the relative permeability of oil are not included here). The accuracy measures are presented as 95 % confidence intervals. 

In open trials, estrogens were administered orally, intramuscularly, vagi-nally, or transdermally. Regardless of the route, estrogens exerted variable effects on urodynamic parameters, such as maximum urethral closure pressure, functional urethral length, and pressure transmission ratio. 

The values for the enthalpies of the streams in the database were based on the Curl-Pitzer congelations (Green, 1997). The enthalpies are calculated from correlations at zero pressure (functions of temperature and composition only) and then corrected via the enthalpy deviation ... 

To determine the saturation for any of the models, the capillary pressure must be known at every position within a diffusion medium. Hence, the two-phase models must determine the gas and liquid pressure profiles. In typical two-phase flow in porous media, the movement of both liquid and gas is determined by Darcy s law for each phase and eq 47 relates the two pressures to each other. Many models utilize the capillary pressure functionality as the driving force for the liquid-water flow... 

Divisek et al. presented a similar two-phase, two-dimensional model of DMFC. Two-phase flow and capillary effects in backing layers were considered using a quantitatively different but qualitatively similar function of capillary pressure vs liquid saturation. In practice, this capillary pressure function must be experimentally obtained for realistic DMFC backing materials in a methanol solution. Note that methanol in the anode solution significantly alters the interfacial tension characteristics. In addition, Divisek et al. developed detailed, multistep reaction models for both ORR and methanol oxidation as well as used the Stefan—Maxwell formulation for gas diffusion. Murgia et al. described a one-dimensional, two-phase, multicomponent steady-state model based on phenomenological transport equations for the catalyst layer, diffusion layer, and polymer membrane for a liquid-feed DMFC.

The four coefficients A, B, C, and D have been derived, for example, with selected hydrocarbons [25, 26], Equation 7.4.3 accurately represents the vapor pressure function over the entire temperature range between the triple point and the critical point. If the coefficients are not available for a given compound, they can be calculated. D is calculated from the pressure van der Waals constant, a, which can be estimated from group contributions. B is calculated directly from group contributions. Then the coefficients A and C can be estimated from two pv/T points (e.g., normal boiling point and critical point). This approach has been evaluated for various classes of hydrocarbons commonly encountered in petroleum technology [25, 26]. 

The osmotic pressure function tt in benzene at 40°C is independent on polymer concentration c. This result is a proof that this solvent is a - solvent (A2 = 0) for poly(pentachlorophenyl methacrylate). The results are shown in Figure 1.5 for three fractions. 

Hyaluronan, despite the simplicity of its structure, has a surprisingly wide range of functions. In high concentrations, as found in the ECM of the dermis, it regulates water balance, osmotic pressure, functions as an ion exchange resin, and regulates ion flow. It functions as a sieve, to exclude certain molecules, to enhance the extracellular domain of cell surfaces, particularly the luminal surface of endothelial cells.28 It can also function as a lubricant and as a shock absorber. Hyaluronan can also act as a structural molecule, as in the vitreous of the eye, in joint fluid, and in Wharton s jelly. 

Currently, mathematical tools are available only for the modeling of cohesive or bridging zones for cracks in linear-elastic solids, although the closure pressure function p(u) or p(u,t) can itself be nonlinear. We first review some basic approaches for the modeling of cohesive zones, beginning with time-independent bridging and then discuss the relationship between cohesive zones and crack growth at elevated temperature primarily based on some recent or just-completed studies.29,30,32,33...
