Description
Summary:Jaundice is yellowing of the skin and eyes when a baby has a high level of bilirubin in the blood. It's caused by excess bilirubin damaging the brain or central nervous system. In this paper, we want to solve the mathematical model of jaundice by combining Mass Transport Model and Mass Balance Law using Euler Method. From the result, we observed how different parameters can give different solutions and which parameter are the best in simulating the system of concentration of bilirubin. From our study, we found that the concentration of bilirubin remains in danger zone for the period of over 20 hours for both parameters used and the maturity rate of 0.04 is the best parameter in simulating the system.
