Krogh length

The Krogh Length, , is the distance between capillaries at which nutrients diffuse to based on cellular consumption of the nutrients. It can be described as: where is the diffusion constant of the solute in the substrate, is the concentration in the channel, and is the consumption by the cells. Units are in terms of length.
