To achieve proper cell and tissue growth, a tissue-engineeredproduct must accommodate blood flow similar to that of the nativetissue. Without blood flow to deliver oxygen, glucose, and otheressential nutrients while removing waste materials, the size of theimplant is limited. A company develops a porous bone graft whichpermits glucose to flow into the interior. A 50 g/min buffersolution containing 5 mg/mL of glucose flows into the bonegraft.
Solve in MatLab and MathCAD
(a) What is the expected total mass flow rate and mass flow rateof glucose out of the system?
(b) Determine the total mass of glucose to flow through the bonegraft in a 24 hour period.
(c) Laboratory results show the total outlet mass flow rate is50 g/min. The outlet glucose mass flow rate is 225 mg/min. Makeconjectures about what has happened in this experiment.
