BME Transport Exam #1 Questions &
Answers (Grade A+)
What is a boundary problem? -
correct answer ✅A boundary problem is a problem that require
conditions to solve for a specific variable(s). It is a problem in which
we know something about boundaries or a point in time
what is the purpose of taking the limit of a derivative? -
correct answer ✅the purpose of taking the limit is to make deltaX
very very small, creating a differential element, which will allow you
to get the instantaneous rate at a point.
what are the components of the cylindrical coordinate system
differential element? -
correct answer ✅Δr (which is the radius)
r(Δθ)
Δz (which is the length)
contains one angular component
what are the components of the cylindrical coordiante system
differential element? -
correct answer ✅Δr
r(Δφ)sin(θ)
r(Δθ)

Answers (Grade A+)
what does the term "driving force" describe? -
correct answer ✅driving force--> transport happens from high
potential to low potential
BME example of energy transport -
correct answer ✅-metabolism/core temperature regulation
-thermal tissue ablation
BME example of mass transport -
correct answer ✅-diffusion of nutrients into and out of tissues and
cells
-controlled drug delivery
BME example of momentum transport -
correct answer ✅-shear stress in cardiovascular tissues
-digestion and excretion
what is the difference between convective and molecular transport
-
correct answer ✅convective transport due to bulk fluid motion,
while molecular transport is independent of bulk fluid motion
