A Thermodynamic Consideration of Permeability Coefficients of Membranes

  • Conference paper
Polarographic Oxygen Sensors

Abstract

The permeability coefficient of the membrane appears in various places in this volume either as P m with units of [m2 s-1] or as Pm with units of [mol m-1 s-1 kPa-1]. Here we show how these permeability coefficients arise and how they are related.
