attempt to optimize the fluids flow rates in an artificial kidney

ABSTRACT

The mass transfer capacity of hemodialyzers is commonly expressed in the classical forms of dialysance and permeability. Sweeney et al [4] that an important consideration in applying these concepts is that reliable determination of dialysance which depend upon accurate measurements of blood and dialysate flows and of blood and dialysate solute concentrations. A set of experiment was performed with a Kiil type dialyzer to evaluate the effect of both blood and dialysate flow rates, time and haematocrite on dialysance
