Consider the problem of oxygen transfer from theinterior

Chapter 14, Problem 14.37

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the problem of oxygen transfer from theinterior lung cavity, across the lung tissue, to the net- work of blood vessels on the opposite side. The lungtissue (species B) may be approximated as a planewall of thickness L. The inhalation process may beassumed to maintain a constant molar concentrationCA(0) of oxygen (species A) in the tissue at its innersurface (x?0), and assimilation of oxygen by theblood may be assumed to maintain a constant molar concentration CA(L) of oxygen in the tissue at its outersurface (x?L). There is oxygen consumption in thetissue due to metabolic processes, and the reaction iszero order, with . Obtain expressions for thedistribution of the oxygen concentration in the tissueand for the rate of assimilation of oxygen by the bloodper unit tissue surface area
