Certain new results are presented for the matrix representation of graphs, as it pertains to the
graph-theoretical treatment of physicochemical transport networks. With the incidence matrix
of graph theory identified as a derivative on a digraph, it is shown that the stoichiometric matrix
plays a similar role on the digraph of chemical-reaction networks. These ideas are then applied
to obtain the graph-theoretic representation of facilitated transport, one of several fields to which
Professor John Quinn has made significant contributions (AIChE J.
1979, 25, 197−200).
