The Kinetic Analysis of Transport between Two Constant-Volume Compartments in a Closed System under Nonsteady-State Conditions.

Abstract
Two explicit equations have been derived by which one can obtain the rate constants and unidirectional fluxes of a substance transported between two constant-volume compartments in a closed system under nonsteady-state conditions. The data are plotted using both equations and the rate constants calculated from the slopes of the two resulting straight lines. Linearity of the plots is one test of conformity of the system to the two-compartment model proposed. The equations are compared with those previously available.
