j] = 0 (2) Since we are concerned with only toluene vapor and water vapor transport in the inert air and TEG solution, we have two equations for vapor mass conservation and two equations for liquid mass conservation.
For the single pressurized laboratory space layout (Figure 3a), space air mass conservation yields the following: dm/dt = [m.
