Question: 3 . 4 . Human immunoglobulin G ( H I g G ) is diffusing through a porous medium having a porosity of 0 .

3.4. Human immunoglobulin G(HIgG) is diffusing through a porous medium having a porosity of 0.5, tortuosity of 1.8 and average pore diameter of 0.45 microns. Protein samples were collected from two points within the medium separated by a distance of 20mm and the ultraviolet light absorbance of these samples as measured with a spectrophotometer having a sample path length of 0.2cm were found to be 0.010 and 0.012 respectively. If the specific absorbance of HIgG is known to be 15590m3kg-moles.cm, calculate the steady state flux of this protein between the two points.
