The concentration of a metabolite within the bloodstream is 100 parts per million. Assume that 1000 mg of metabolite is to be used as a tracer, it is injected over 5 min and the downstream concentration is measured to be 4000ppm. Clearly State all your assumptions

a) Draw a process diagram for the injection of the tracer into a blood vessel.

b) What is the mean flow of blood in the vessel, assuming good mixing occurs?

c) Estimate the volumetric flow rate of blood vessel based on the answer.
