AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS CHAPTER, STUDENTS WILL
BE ABLE TO:
￿ Understand the function of the human lung
in terms of mass balance and mass transfer.
￿ Understand the fundamental equations for
mass transfer, including the concepts of
diffusion and osmosis.
￿ Understand the fundamental concepts of
mass transfer across pores in systemic
capillaries.
￿ Understand the function of the human
kidney and its most basic mass transfer
element: the nephron.
￿ Understand how dialysis systems function
and are controlled.
￿ Understand the role of blood cells in whole
blood.
￿ Understand how the fundamental equations
describing the conservation of mass and
momentum equations are derived and the
underlying physics.
￿ Understand the three basic elements of heat
transfer, including conduction, convection,
and radiation.
￿ Understand the process of heat exchange
using a double pipe heat exchanger for
heating and cooling of blood.
￿ Understand how heat is transferred from the
core of the body to the periphery and then to
the environment.
￿ Understand how heat transfer occurs in
extreme heat environments.
