1. If the oxygen diffusion coefficient in tissue is assumed to be 1.1x10-5 cm2/s and fluid velocity is 1 um/s, how large a distance between capillaries is required for convection to play an equally significant role as diffusion? Assuming an average distance between capillaries of 100 um, does convection play a significant role? Use Peclet number to justify answers.
