Advection-diffusion modeling of solute transport in tissues

In this case the total diffusive oxygen flux is computed from the sum of diffusion terms for free and bound oxygen [161]  

The conservation equation for total (free plus bound) oxygen is

4 Since recent measurements using NMR methods yield an estimate of I) Mb = 7.85 x 10-7 cm sec-1 at 35 °C in the myocardium [131], which is significantly higher than the values used here, the role of facilitated diffusion of oxygen by myoglobin remains unclear.
