Notes:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vibration device in gas transferrate for usage as intravenous lung assist device. Specific attention was focused on the effect ofmembrane vibration. Quantitative experimental measurements were performed to evaluate theperformance of the device, and to identify membrane vibration dependence on hemolysis. Scalinganalysis was then used to infer the dimensionless groups that correlate the performance of avibrated hollow tube membrane oxygenator. The experimental design and procedure are then givenfor a device for assessing the effectiveness of membrane vibrations. This ILAD is used to providesome insight into how wall vibrations might enhance the performance of an intravascular lung assistdevice. The time and the frequency response of PVDF sensor were investigated through variousfrequencies in the ILAD. In these devices, the flow of blood and the source of oxygen wereseparated by a semipermeable membrane allows oxygen to diffuse into and out of the f1uid,respectively. The results of experiments have shown vibrating ILAD performs effectively
