An investigation of multiphase flow in complex microchannel geometries for hemodialysis systems using residence time distribution analysis

Creator:

Coblyn, Matthew Y.

Abstract:

There are approximately 2.2 million cases of End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) worldwide and current hemodialysis treatment is costly and ultimately insufficient compared to kidney transplantation. There is a strong need to arrive at a better solution for treating ESRD. Microchannel-based hemodialysis is one proposed option, already shown to have improved...

Design of a single lamina for a microchannel dialyzer with a focus on bubble removal

Creator:

Mohammadi, Mahshid

Abstract:

A microchannel-based hemodialyzer offers a novel approach to hemodialysis practice and holds many promises for improving dialysis treatment efficiency and quality of life for kidney patients. The hollow fiber hemodialyzer, a conventional dialysis device, has certain limitations including non-uniformity of the dialysate flow path which necessitates the use of a...
