Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Overall mass transfer coefficient = 0.0008
- Dissolved unionized ammonia concentration in water = 0.0015
- Unionized ammonia concentration in air at water surface = 2.0E-9
Expected Result:
- Ammonia volatilization rate = 1.1999984E-6
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Ammonia volatilization rate = 1.1999984E-6 mol/(m^3*s).
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
ammonia volatilization rate = overall mass transfer coefficient * (dissolved unionized ammonia concentration in water - unionized ammonia concentration in air at water surface)Ammonia volatilization rate.
