Blood is being used as a source of oxygen for cells that are growing in a tissue engineered construct. The design assumes that blood enters the device with a pO2 = 95 mmHg and leaves the device with a pO2 = 25 mmHg. If the cells in the device consume oxygen at a rate of 20 μM s−1and there are 100 mL of cells, what is the required flow rate of the blood in mL min−1to meet this oxygen demand?
