Eq. [3.21] can be rewritten as:
R = *emulRemul + KOüRoU + ^waterRwater [323]
Here к is signal attenuation fraction of each phase.

Λ4(fe, g=0) in Eq. [3.22] is associated to the T2 distribution of each phase. ⅛ is
echo spacing time, which is 2τ for basic PGSE sequence or T+2τ for stimulated
spin-echo PGSE sequence.
If T2 distribution peaks for oil, emulsified water and bulk water are completely
separate, M (tE, g=0) can be expressed as:
M.„(g = 0)=M⅛aH⅛∑xl exp(-⅛ [3.25]

HI is hydrogen index of fluid, which is 1 for water. Φ is component fraction of
oil, emulsified water or bulk water, xl is normalized fraction of component with
relaxation time T2,i in T2 distribution peak of oil, emulsified water or bulk water.
