Hemo-Dialysis Channel Flow Characterization

Dialysis Rate: 10 mL/min, Péclet Number: 1, Membrane Width: 700 µm, Channels per chip: 17

Fig. 1: Number of 17-channel devices required to achieve 10 mL/min dialysis for channels of three lengths (15 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm)

Fig. 2: Pressure drop across three lengths of channel (15 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm) with varying channel height, H.

Péclet number
Pe ∝ H
Pe ∝ 1/L

Pressure Drop, P
P ∝ 1/H3
