Chemical Concentration Model in a Pumping Lung
This page allows you to iterate a model, given below, for a chemical's concentration,
c
t
, in a pumping lung for a total of
N
steps using selected values of the ambient concentration,
k
, of the chemical in the environment. The
q
variable is a number between 0 and 1 that can be interpreted as the ratio of the volume of a breath to the total volume of the lung or, more simply, the ratio of air exchanged.
