An external flow of water was applied on top of the planar surface of a fibrous polymer solid membrane (with finite thickness). You are told that moxifloxacin (an antibiotics which is water soluble) was encapsulated within the matrix of polymer solid membrane as mentioned above. You are told that the flux of moxifloxacin from the polymer membrane surface was determined as 2.410-5molem2(s) under water flow with constant velocity profile. The concentration of moxifloxacin inside the polymer solid membrane (at the region just next to the water layer) is given as 7.2 mole/L. Also, the concentration of moxifloxacin in the water far away from the surface of polymer solid membrane was known to be 0.6moleL. The values of mass transfer coefficients are known too as follows: kas=3.510-9ms;kas=9.7109ms.
Calculate the partition coefficient Afs of moxifloxacin between water and polymer solid membrane.
