Abstract: | Diffusion problem with variabale diffusion coefficient in a spherical biological system is investigated. Also included in
this study is the biological reaction of the Michaelis-Menten type. The problem formulated consists of a highly nonlinear
differential equation which, however, can be efficiently solved by the orthogonal collocation method on a digital computer.
The effects of the dimensionless governing parameters on the transient and steady state concentration responses are parametrically
examined for the diffusion system with and without biological reaction. |
