<p>Natural Growth Model</p><p>When is this model used?</p><p>What is k?</p>

Natural Growth Model

When is this model used?

What is k?

For small n values

k is the cell specific division frequency (days-1)

2
New cards

Assumptions for natural growth model

  1. Population grows at an average rate proportional to its size

  2. There is no limit on nutrients, no inhibition due to waste products and no constraints to cell growth

Logistic growth model

When do you use this model?

What is M?

How do you find A?

Used in large n values

M is the maximal carrying cells

A = (M - n0)/n0

<p>Used in large n values</p><p>M is the maximal carrying cells</p><p>A = (M - n<sub>0</sub>)/n<sub>0</sub></p>

New cards

Assumptions for logistic growth model

  1. Unstructured population of identical cells which obeys the logistical model

  2. Maximal carrying cells is defined and remains unaltered

  3. Cell concentration is proportional to cell quantity

Calculating permeability, k
What are the assumptions made here and for Darcy’s law?

  1. Non-compressive Newtonian fluid is used

  2. Flow is laminar
