Cell Example 5: Precipitate Removal Mass Flux Links

Precipitate removal mass flux links are used to transport precipitated mass directly from one pathway to another. Mass can precipitate in a Cell if solubility limits have been defined for the species in the fluid within the Cell.

They are defined by specifying a fractional rate at which the precipitated mass is being moved from one pathway to another. Hence, a precipitate removal mass flux is computed as the precipitated mass of the species in the pathway multiplied by a fractional transfer rate:

Precipitate Removal Mass Flux = Precipitated Cell Mass * Transfer Rate

The Transfer Rate has dimensions of inverse time. The Transfer Rate is specified as a scalar. That is, all precipitate species are transferred at the same rate.
