These gels exhibited pH dependant swelling and solute diffusivity due to the formation or disruption of hydrogen bonded complexation between methacrylic acid (MAA) and etheric (EO). In neutral and basic conditions (above the swelling transition pH), the copolymer swelling was greatly higher than acid condition. In complexed hydrogels, the diffusion coefficients of vitamin B12 (VB12) were in the range of 10-10 to 10-7 cm2s-1; While in uncomplexed hydrogels, the values were about 210-6 cm2s-1. The comonomer composition and synthesis conditions have great effect on the structure, and thereby, swelling and solute diffusion characteristics of the resultant hydrogels. For the copolymers with composition of less than or more than 1:1 MAA/EO molar ratio, the plot of lnD vs 1/H-1 followed two different linear equations of 慺ree volume theory? respectively.展开更多

Meanwhile, the densities and viscosities of the solutions were also determined. Based on all these data a semi-empirical model for correlating the diffusion coefficients of solid organic salts in their aqueous solutions at 25℃ was proposed. The fitting result of this model is comparatively satisfactory. Compared to a former model, Gordon Model, this model can avoid a number of difficulties and arduous work.展开更多

The anisotropic turbulent mass diffusion can be characterized rigorously by using the Reynolds mass flux(RMF) model.With the RMF model, the concentration and temperature as well as the velocity distributions can be simulated numerically. The modeled Reynolds mass flux equation is adopted to close the turbulent mass transfer equation,while the modeled Reynolds heat flux and Reynolds stress equations are used to close the turbulent heat and momentum transfer equations, so that the Boussinesq postulate and the isotropic assumption are abandoned. To validate the presented RMF model, simulation is carried out for CO2 absorption into aqueous Na OH solutions in a packed column(0.1 m id, packed with 12.7 mm Berl saddles up to a height of 6.55 m). The simulated results are compared with the experimental data and satisfactory agreement is found both in concentration and temperature distributions. The sequel Part II extends the model application to the simulation of an unsteady state adsorption process in a packed column.展开更多

However, this method is quite laborious and needs special equipment. Colorimetric method is a quick and simple method to measure the penetration depth of chloride by spraying 0.1 mol/L silver nitrate solution. The objective of this work is to study the possibility of the use of colorimetric method in the calculation of non-steady-state diffusion coefficient. Twelve concrete mixtures with different supplementary cementitious materials and water-to-cement ratios of 0.35, 0.48 and 0.6 were used for study. According to NT build 443, the concrete specimens were immersed in 165 g/L NaC1 (2.8 mol/L) solution for 42 d. Both water-soluble (convert to free chloride) chloride and acid-soluble chloride at different layers of specimens were measured. The results show that the mean value of free chloride concentration at the color change boundary Cd was 0.306 mol/L. The surface free chloride concentration cs was obtained by profile fitting method, which was 40% lower than the chloride concentration of exposure solution after an immersion period of 42 d. Chloride diffusion coefficients obtained by the colorimetric method was not well correlated with those obtained by profile fitting method.展开更多

Initial salinity is an important parameter on the final composition of the water obtained. In this paper, the authors study experimentally the effect of the concentration in aqueous solution on the double diffusion with phase change. NaCI-H20 solution at different salinity is frozen in a rectangular cavity to obtain ice becoming fresh water. Temperature, concentration and rate growth of the interface ice/brine are presented. Three concentrations are tested: 0.02%, 1% and 3.5%.展开更多

The liquid is considered as a three-layer liquid where the center region is Casson liquid surrounded by Newtonian liquid layer. A significant change from previous modelling exercises in the study of hydrodynamic dispersion, different molecular diffusivity has been considered for the different region yet to be constant. For all time period, finite difference implicit scheme has been adopted to solve the integral moment equation arising from the unsteady convective diffusion equation. The purpose of the study is to find the dependency of solute transport coefficients on absorption parameter, yield stress, viscosity ratio, peripheral layer variation and in addition with various diffusivity coefficients in different liquid layers. This kind of study may be useful for understanding the dispersion process in the blood flow analysis.展开更多

Both free chloride concentration (CI) and total chloride concentration (Ct) are then measured employing a rapid chloride test (RCT) system. The Fick's second diffusion law is verified by the test data and used to predict chloride concentration distribution at different immersion periods. Addilionally, pore structures of the new and old mortar in RAC are tested by mercury intrusion porosimetrV (MIP). It is found that bind- ing chloride concentration (Cb) linearly increases with Cf. In natural aggregate concrete (NAC), Cf is obviously smaller than that in the RAC in the same testing environment and this is different from the test results of Ct and Cb. Furthermore, the effects of R on the chloride concentration of RAC become severe for specimens subjected to long immersion periods, which can be explained in terms of the pore structures of the new mortar and old adhesive mortar in RAC.展开更多
