โฆ Synopsis
Theoretical analyses of mass transfer in hemodialyzers which contain flowing blood and dialysate streams separated by a semi-permeable membrane are presented. Semi-infinite parallel-plate and cylindrical tube geometries are considered. Solutions are obtained in terms of well-known functions, a method which avoids difficulties associated with computing the higher eigenvalues encountered in previous analyses. Applications of the mathematical mode1 to systems used in clinical practice are discussed.

While two-and multiphase flows find more and more application in chemical engineering practice, and the demand for theoretical information about mass and heat transfer processes in such systems is increasing, such data or at least experimental results which could be generalized are still lacking.

A comparison is made of results obtained with various boundary conditions at the wall of the channels. By comparing blood Sherwood numbers for finite wall resistance with those for constant concentration boundary condition only a small variation is found for various points along the blood channel.
Numerical simulation has been carried out of the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer for the developing laminar flow in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell cathode and anode flow channels, respectively. Each flow channel is considered to be composed of two parallel walls, one porous (simulat
