Figure 2


Fig. 2. Predicting the steady-state drawdown of O2 in the middle of a cylindrical egg mass under first-order reaction kinetics. A dimensionless number, Formula 9, incorporating information on the reaction coefficient, egg mass size and O2 diffusion coefficient (Formula 9=ka2/D), predicts how far central O2 levels will fall below surface concentration. At small Formula 9, the relationship is transport-dominated; at large Formula 9 the relationship is metabolism-dominated.
