The mechanism by which active solute transport causes water transport in isotonic proportions across epithelial membranes has been investigated. The principle of the experiments was to measure the osmolarity of the transported fluid when the osmolarity of the bathing solution was varied over an eightfold range by varying the NaCl concentration or by adding impermeant non-electrolytes. An in vit...

Solute mass transport in porous media is strongly correlated with pore fluid flow. The analysis of solute transport is an effective means for studying medium heterogeneities. In this study, we discuss the effects of heterogeneity on the tracer transport. Assuming steady fluid flow, we have simulated tracer transport in various permeability heterogeneities. The results show that the tracer distr...

The transport mechanism of contaminated groundwater has been a problematic issue for many decades, mainly due to the bad impact of the contaminants on the quality of the groundwater system. In this paper, the exact solution of two-dimensional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is derived for a semi-infinite porous media with spatially dependent initial and uniform/flux boundary conditions. The...

The analytic, open-form solution for the steady-state, 2-dimensinal partial differential equation describing the concentration profile for the gas solute in a falling liquid film flowing under a steady-state laminar condition was shown. The overall mass transfer coefficient, c k , for a binary diffusion system, was evaluated in light of the analytic solution and was tested for oxygen absorption...

The dielectric relaxation times τ and dipole moments μ of N-methylacetamide (NMA) mixed with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in benzene solutions have been obtained using standard standing wave microwave techniques and Gopala Krishna’s single frequency (9.90 GHz) concentration variational method at 25, 30, 35, and 40 ◦C. The energy parameters (∆Hε , ∆Fε , ∆Sε ) for the dielectric relaxation process...

The dielectric relaxation time (τ) and dipole moment (μ) of binary mixtures of different molar concentrations of N-methylformamide (NMF) in binary mixtures of NMF and tetramethylurea (TMU) in benzene have been calculated at 25, 30, 35 and 40 ◦C using standard standing wave microwave techniques and following the single frequency (9.885 GHz) concentration variational method of Gopala Krishna. The...

During the last two decades the measurement and analysis of sedimentation equilibrium has been used increasingly as a method for characterizing intermolecular interactions in solution. More recently, a variant of this technique has been developed, in which a trace amount of a single solute component is labelled so that the concentration gradient of that component at sedimentation equilibrium ma...

Analytical solutions are obtained for one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients in longitudinal semi-infinite homogeneous porous medium for uniform flow. The solute dispersion parameter is considered temporally dependent while the velocity of the flow is considered uniform. The first order decay and zero-order production terms are considered inversely proportional ...

The influence of hydroxyectoine on the properties of the aqueous solution in presence of DPPC lipid bilayers is studied via semi-isotropic constant pressure (NPT) Molecular Dynamics simulations. We investigate the solvent-co-solute behavior in terms of Kirkwood-Buff integrals as well as hydrogen bond life times for an increasing hydroxyectoine concentration up to 0.15mol/L. The observed prefere...
