- Derive as expression from a mass balance approach that defines the fraction of a compound in each of 3 phases that contains only variables for partition coefficients and volume that can be applied to any 3-phase problem involving air, water, and a NAPL or oil (e.g., NAPL, fat, etc.). Define your variables and subscripts.
- fi,o (o=OIL, e.g., organic liquid, NAPL or fat blob)
- fi,w (w=aqueous phase)
- fi,a (a=air)
- Hints to answer :
- 1- Consider the definition of fraction - part over whole, the mass of X in phase Y relative to the total mass in all the phases in the system.
- 2- partition coefficient - ratio of concentrations use partition coefficients with the denominator being concentration in water
- 3-Consider the definition of concentration, e.g., mass or moles of a compound per volume
