Finite Volume Scheme for Double Convection-Diffusion Exchange of Solutes in Bicarbonate High-Flux Hollow-Fiber Dialyzer Therapy
Figure 6
Various carbon dioxide and bicarbonate convective fluxes at different radial distances were presented. Contrary to diffusive flux, convective flux decreased at the fiber wall and increased in the fiber center. Also, the sagging nature of convective fluxes observed at the blood port for the solutes may explain the high diffusive flux abnormalities observed in Figure 5.
