Problem 3(15 pts). Consider a drug injected into a blood vessel to treat stenosis and the correspondingsteady-state, 1-D diffusion of that drug through the vessel wall. Determine the concentration profile, (), ofthe drug in the vessel wall. Also, determine the flux, , of the drug through the vessel wall. Theconcentration of the drug in the vessel, , is constant and uniform within the blood. The concentration in theouter layer of the vessel wall is . The vessel wall has an inner radius of and an outer radius of . Neglectconvection and any reactions. Assume the vessel wall has homogeneous properties (e.g., and )Hints: Start with Ficks 2nd law in vectorized form. Use appendix A (from Bird et al.) to determine and 2 forcylindrical coordinates.
