Abstract :
For pt.I see ibid., vol.35, no.6, p.450-7, June 1988. The model of the lung described in pt.I is presented in terms of analog computer components. This permits the quantitative evaluation of the model even when it is nonlinear and analytically insoluble. This property is used for the evaluation of the multiple-gas effect and for the determination of conditions under which the effect may be neglected with negligible error.
