Abstract

We describe a useful and simple model for studies of simultaneous methanogenic–denitrification (M–D) systems. One equation predicts an inverse relationship between the percentage of electron donor channeled into dissimilatory denitrification and the loading ratio λ given by grams degradable COD per gram nitrate‐N in the influent. It allows the determination of the extent of use of organic matter by the denitrification and the methanogenic pathways for a given concentration of nitrate salts in the influent. This equation was validated with experimental data from the literature and good agreement between predicted and experimental percentages was found. The other equation allows the calculation of the N nutrient requirements in the ammonia nitrogen form (that is, with oxidation number −3). Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry

We present a simple model for the arterial part of the cardiovascular system, based on Poiseuille flow constrained by the power dissipated into the cells lining the vessels. This, together with the assumption of a volume-filling network, leads to correct predictions for the evolution of vessel radii
