Finite Volume Scheme for Double Convection-Diffusion Exchange of Solutes in Bicarbonate High-Flux Hollow-Fiber Dialyzer Therapy
Figure 8
The effects of diffusion and convection fluxes and concentration gradients for carbon dioxide solute at different time periods and radial distances were presented. Carbon dioxide decreased over time implying carbon dioxide solute desorption in the membrane (a). Also, carbon dioxide concentration was higher in the fiber center than near the fiber walls (b).
