- Application of Hollow Fiber Membranes to Hemodialysis
Goals:
After this class you should be able to:
- Calculate the thermodynamic limit for energy costs in seawater desalinization.
- Understand how hollow fiber membranes are applied to hemodialysis.
Reading
- The class notes.
- A useful article on optimization approaches for desalinization applications is given here.
- The Wikipedia articles on artificial kidneys and hemodialysis are useful.
- A recent comprehensive review of the types of membranes used in hemodialysis is found here.
Problem of the Day:
