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...

In this work, the molecular interaction between carbamazepine and alizarin in methanol has been represented terms of limiting apparent molar volumes viscosity coefficients. Before further proceeding, validity applicability calculation have also checked by considering available five types frequently used equations, where required modifications proposed addition hypothetical mass concentration so...

a r t i c l e i n f o Quantifying hyporheic solute dynamics has been limited by our ability to assess the magnitude and extent of stream interactions with multiple domains: mobile subsurface storage (MSS, e.g., freely flowing pore water) and immobile subsurface storage (ISS, e.g., poorly connected pore water). Stream-tracer experiments coupled with solute transport modeling are frequently used ...

BACKGROUND Membranes fabricated from nominally similar polymers may be markedly different in chemical composition, morphology and geometry. To examine the relative importance of these factors to dialyzer performance, the removal of small and large uraemic toxins was determined for dialyzers containing 'polysulfone' membranes of different composition and morphology, with and without fibre undula...

On the basis of Kedem-Katchalsky's equations in classical and modified versions, the model equations of volume and solute fluxes were presented. In this model the osmotic volume flux is a sum of: simple osmotic, osmotic connected with natural convection and osmotic connected with forced convection fluxes. The solute flux is a sum of: simple diffusion, diffusion connected with natural convection...

Transfer energetics from pure water to a urea-water mixture is examined for a set of amino acid analog solutes by using molecular dynamics simulation and free-energy calculation. The free energy of transfer from pure-water solvent to 8 M urea-water mixed solvent is calculated for each solute, and the urea-water mixture is shown to be a more favorable solvent than pure water. The correlation of ...

The analysis of Sha'afi et al. (Sha'afi, Rich, Mickulecky, Solomon 1970 J Gen Physiol 55: 427-450) for determining solute permeability in red blood cells has been modified and applied to turgid plant cells. Following the addition of permeating solute to the external medium, a biphasic response of cell turgor can be measured with the pressure probe in isolated internodes of Chara corallina. Afte...

13 For solute transport in a deformable clay liner, the importance of consolidation 14 in the presence of sorption and consolidation-induced advection are well known. 15 Here a one-dimensional coupled consolidation and solute transport model for a 16 partially saturated porous medium, including the new features of finite strain and 17 geometric and material nonlinearity, is proposed. A new boun...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore a possible mechanism of eye irritation by constructing a corresponding general quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model using a genetic algorithm. The model was derived from a subset of diverse chemical structures found in the Draize eye irritation ECETOC data set. Methods: Molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) was used to generate...
