Abstract
This work presents two mathematical models explicitly reflecting the Magneticfield- Induced transitions in biologically significant processes: oxidation of N-Hexane and linolenic acid, and describes the methodology used in obtaining the models. For the N-Hexane oxidation, the range of the magnetic field strength is found (0.05-0.3 T) with the trend indicating a significant Magneticfield- Induced change in the reaction rates (up to 50% at 0.2 T). For the linolenic acid oxidation, a pronounced Magnetic-Field-Induced change in the rate of malonaldehyde (MDA) production is found (at 0.1 T). The equations describing the effects of the magnetic field on the photoinduced free radical reaction of oxidation involving a Lipid-Modeling substance, hexane, and a fatty acid, linolenic acid, are obtained on the basis of chemical kinetics and data from batch experiments. The Magnetic-Field-Induced changes in N-Hexane and linolenic acid oxidation are validated (the latter only for diene conjugates) using the identification technique based on the real time Input-Output data in separately conducted flow-through experiments.
