EBME 504. Transport Processes of Biomedical Systems
EBME 504 will not be offered in the spring of 2008
Description
Mass and heat transport processes. Metabolic processes.
Spatially lumped and distributed models of organs,
tissues and cells. Numerical methods for computer
simulation. Applications to cells, tissues, and organs.
Course Goals
1. To develop a basis for modeling biomedical mass
and heat transport processes in complex biomedical
systems
2. To apply sophisticated computer codes for numerical
solution of model equations for simulation
3. To obtain analytical solutions of differential equations
for linear transport models for testing of numerical
solutions
4. To quantitatively understand the key transport processes
associated with biomedical systems
Prerequisites
Differential equations, systems analysis.
