Prоblem 2. Glucоse Trаnspоrt in Designing Artificiаl Tissue Tissue engineering utilizes synthetic scаffolds to serve as the extracellular matrix for culturing cells into tissue, which may be transplanted into a patient. Since the artificial tissue is not vascularized, transport of nutrients and oxygen to cells is limited by diffusion through the matrix. Consider a collagen scaffold, approximated as a cylinder with radius = r 1 (m), as shown in the figure below. The cylinder is submerged in a liquid solution that provides the tissue with nutrients (including glucose) and oxygen. We will analyze the transport of glucose (designated as A) into the scaffold. Assume that the solution maintains a constant concentration of glucose, , at the outer surface of the cylinder. The glucose then diffuses from the surface through the scaffold and is consumed by the metabolism of the growing tissue. The diffusivity of glucose is . The volumetric rate of consumption of glucose within the scaffold is constant and uniform, at . Assume steady state conditions and that the diffusion of glucose is only along the r-direction. From the most general partial differential equation for mass transfer, derive the ordinary differential equation (ODE) that you will solve for the system (Hint: Make sure that you use the correct geometry for the system) Determine the general solution of the ODE in (A) What are the boundary conditons? (Hint: Does the system have symmetry?) From the boundary conditions in (C), solve for the constants of integration in (B) (Express the constants in terms of the symbols given). What is the equation for glucose concentration as a function of position r in the cylindrical scaffold?
