Effect of Deformation of Red Cell on Nutritional Transport in Capillary-Tissue Exchange System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical analysis of a model for nutritional exchange in a capillary-tissue exchange system is presented in this paper. This model consists of a single file flow of red blood cell in capillary when diameter of red blood cell is greater than tube diameter. In this case, the cell must be deformed. Due to concentration gradients, the dissolved nutrient in substrate diffuses into surrounding tissue. Introducing approximations of the lubrication theory, squeezing flow of plasma in between the gap between cell and capillary wall have been solved with the help of approximate mathematical techniques. The computational results for concentration of dissolved nutrients, diffusive flux and normal component of velocity have been presented and discussed through graphs. We have also shown the effect of deformation parameter and permeability on these results.

This model focuses on the behavior of capillary-tissue fluid exchange system when the diameter of the capillary is less than that of red cell. In vivo and in vitro observations indicate that the width of the gap between the red cell and the vessel wall is generally small compared to the radius of the capillary for a single file flow of red cell in narrow vessel, particularly if the vessel diame...

The produced liquid water in cathode catalyst layer (CCL) has significant effect on the operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). To investigate this effect, the transport of oxygen in CCL in the presence of immiscible liquid water is studied applying a two-dimensional pore scale model. The CCL was reconstructed as an agglomerated system. To explore the wettability effects, diffe...
