Consider a drug-eluting balloon catheter deployed into a blood vessel. The balloon is inflated to perfectly adhere to the vessel

walls. Drug is released from the outer surface of the balloon and diffuses radially through the endothelial tissue only in the r-direction. Let the outside radius of the balloon be r = R_0, where the drug has a constant concentration c_0. The drug diffuses into the tissue as far as r = R, where the concentration of the drug becomes zero.
Assume cylindrical geometry, steady state conditions and no chemical reaction involving the drug. The drug diffusion coefficient in tissue is D.
(a) Find an expression for the profile c(r) inside the tissue (i.e. from R_0 to R).
(b) Determine the diffusive flux at the outer surface of the balloon.

Answer:

a)  Cr = Co - Fx / D

b)   ΔC / Δx = ( CR - Cr )  / ( xR - xRo )

Explanation:

A) Derive an expression for the profile c(r) inside the tissue

F = DΔC / X  = D ( Co - Cr ) / X   ------ 1

where : F = flux , D = drug diffusion coefficient

            X = radial distance between Ro and R

Hence : Cr = Co - Fx / D

B) Express the diffusive flux at outer surface of the balloon

Diffusive flux at outer surface =  ΔC / Δx = CR - Cr / xR - xRo

A BOD test is to be run on a sample of wastewater that has a five-day BOD of 230 mg/L. If the initial DO of a mix of distilled w
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Distribution factor P = =38.33

V = 7.826 ml

Explanation:

given details:

BOD =230 mg/l

DO inital = 8.0mg/l

DO final = 2.0mg/l

we know

BOD = [DO inital -DO final] * distribution factor

230 = [8 - 2] D.F

Distribution factor P = \frac{230}{6}

Distribution factor P = =38.33

THE RANGE OF WASTE WATER VOLUME IN 300 ml bottle is

distribution factor = \frac{300}{V}

V = \frac{300}{38.33}

V = 7.826 ml

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.
