2.1. The Models

The models are constrained by their physical sizes, so that it is easy to compare the predictions with compact H II regions of known sizes and hence of known distance and luminosity. Paper I, but without the constraint Three types of exciting stars, viz., O4, O7 and B0.5 are considered. For each stellar type, r0, r-1 and r-2, radial density distributions are considered. For each density distribution, 13 models, with tau100 ranging from 0.0045 to 0.34 are considered. For every model the inner dust radius (Rmin) is determined by the density of dust, the stellar luminosity and the dust sublimation temperature. The outer radius is assumed to be 2 pc for every model. For scheme I the gas and the dust composition and also the ISRF at the outer boundary are the same as those in Paper I. For scheme II, the gas component is assumed to have typical H II region abundances (an average of Baldwin et al., 1991, Osterbrock et al., 1992 & Rubin et al., 1991, as computed by Ferland, 1996). Only those elements having abundances (relative to hydrogen) more than 3 x 10-6 are taken into consideration. Thus in scheme II, the gas consists of H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S and Ar and the dust is composed of silicate and graphite grains in equal quantities. Geometrical details of these models are presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3 for exciting sources corresponding to ZAMS stars of types O4, O7 and B0.5 respectively. The parameters presented in these tables are self-explanatory, and follow the same naming convention, as in Paper I.
