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