i. General Expression
When the data are expressed in terms of C, C,, and F the results are dependent upon the
physical constants of the fluid. For example a different set of curves is obtained when
alcohol is employed rather than water as the liquid phase (cf. Fig. 5). Similarly another
family of curves would be obtained if the scale of the model were altered. However, by
expressing the data in the appropriate dimensionless form it is possible to obtain a single
representation of all the data. When this step is taken estimates may be made of the
extent to which hydrodynamic transport facilitates gas transfer within the plasma.
