  1. Water velocity filtration effects. Area averaged LDL concentration Cw/Co. Values refer to Reo = 95, K = 2.0 × 10-10 m/s and D = 15.0 × 10-12 m2/s, Vw = 4.0 × 10-8 m/s. The area averaged LDL concentration Cw/Co over the entire LCA tree is 1.2325. The net amount of LDL mass per second taken up by all LCA tree luminal surface is 20.17 × 10-11g/s.
