Chemical and Phase Equilibrium

Phase diagrams or equilibrium phase diagrams are the graphical representations that show the phase transformations of the constituting elements with respect to the pressure, temperature, and compositions. The diagrams show the conditions that limit the different phases, namely solid, liquid, and gas. The diagram can also be utilized to verify the relations between the state variables. Most of the phase diagrams are temperature-pressure phase diagrams, with the variable parameter as the composition. Usually other variables such as solubility and pressure parameters are not indicated in the phase diagram. For a one-component system (unary phase diagram), the phase diagram is generally a function of temperature and pressure as the state variables, or temperature and volume. However, for a binary system (two-phase) having two components, the phase diagram is a function of temperature and composition as the state variables only. Coexisting of the different phases of the constituting elements is indicated in the phase diagram. A ternary phase diagram can be characterized by consisting of three phases in equilibrium.

Many biological tissues have layers with different extracellular matrix components and different orientations of these components. As a result, diffusion coefficients vary from region to region. Even within a region, the diffusion coefficient depends on the direction of transport, a situation know as anisotropy. Consider the steady-state, one-dimensional diffusion of a molecule across an artery wall consist of an acellular phase and a cellular phase. There are no chemical reactions. An example of such a tissue is an elastic artery that contains a layer of smooth muscle cells of thickness L1 and an elastic lamina of thickness L2. (Actually, an artery consists of repeating layers of elastin and smooth muscle cells, but for the present discussion, consider a single layer of each.) The molecule diffusion coefficients of the two layers are Di, 1 and Di, 2 respectively. The concentration of the molecule at the lumen surface (x = 0) is C0, and the concentration at x = L1 + L2 = L is CL. L1 =…
