Mass transfer properties of the Soviet membrane oxygenator, MOCT, are tested. The liquid chambers of the oxygenator are made of disk membranes separating the moving blood from gas chambers. Processes of transportation and saturation of the blood film with oxygen are described by the simultaneous solution of the hydrodynamic and diffusion problem that is complicated by the chemical reaction. To derive approximate analytical solution the concept of a spreading front separating the area of the saturated blood layer from the venous area is applied. The expression for the thickness of the saturated layer and the oxygen flow to the blood is deduced as a function of the following parameters: membrane permeability, blood output, hemoglobin concentration, etc. The analytical solution is found to be satisfactory in describing experimental data obtained in the course of laboratory, clinical and biomedical tests.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010107 Oxygenators, Membrane Devices in which blood and oxygen are separated by a semipermeable membrane, generally of Teflon or polypropylene, across which gas exchange occurs. The membrane may be arranged as a series of parallel plates or as a number of hollow fibers; in the latter arrangement, the blood may flow inside the fibers, which are surrounded by gas, or the blood may flow outside the fibers and the gas inside the fibers.
