A LINK BETWEEN O2 DEFICIENT METABOLISM IN ORGANS and GROUP COMBUSTION IN ENGINEERING

摘要

Purpose: The overall goal is to link the field of combustion science and thermodynamics to metabolism in biological system (BS), The relations for specific energy release rate (SERR) of a cloud of carbon particle {W per kg cloud mass} obtained in group combustion (GC) literature are now extended to SERR of organs within a BS. Using the empirical allometric relations in biology for SERR (also called as specific metabolic rate, SMR in biology) of organ k { q_(k,m)}, the following relation can be derived as: q_(k,m)=(w/kg organ mass k)=E_k m_k F_k, Where m_k, organ mass, Ek and Fk are called allometric constants. The whole body SMR (W/kg body mass) of a body of mass mB is given as SMR, q_M (Watts/kg body msss) = a m_B (kg)~b'=(Σ from k E_k m_k~(F_k+1))/m_B, m_B = Σ from k m_k Limited experimental data for whole body yields b'= -0.25 and for vital organs yield -0.27
