A volume controlled apparatus for ultrafiltration and hemofiltration with acetate or bicarbonate solutions
Abstract:
To meet a growing need, a single dialysis apparatus has been developed that can easily be employed by conventionally trained staff to perform volume programmed ultrafiltration hemodialysis, sequential ultrafiltration-hemodialysis, hemofiltration, or any combination of these with either acetate or bicarbonate based dialysate. Continued studies will be necessary to establish its full suitability for general use. However, we feel that the investigations of the various modes of dialysis therapy that this device makes so readily available show great potential for improving the treatment of ESRD.

Control Volume and System Representations
The control volume approach considers a stationary region in space through which fluid flows. This region is bounded by a control surface. For instance, in the case of water...
Linear Momentum in Control Volume
Conservation of Energy in Control Volume
For steady flow systems, the time derivative of the stored energy becomes zero since there is no energy accumulation within the control volume. This simplifies the energy equation to:
Conservation of Mass in Fixed, Nondeforming Control Volume

Conservation of Mass in Moving, Nondeforming Control Volume
In the context of a detention basin, the conservation of mass states that the total mass of water entering the basin must equal the mass leaving the basin plus any accumulation of...
