Determination of Current Gain Factor
From the recorded tabular observations (Tables 9-11 not presented due to size
limitations), the b was calculated (b = I CE /I BE ) under various blood parameter
variations and is depicted in a typical Graph 9 .
Again, using the first order of approximation study of Graph 9 the following
inference can be drawn: Typically, the variation of b for various blood variable
conditions (nature wise) is similar to the conventional semiconductor transistor.
Usually, b for semiconductor transistor ranges between 10 and 100.
Conclusions
Finally, it is philosophically concluded that under certain magnitudes of V BE /V CE
bias conditions and appropriate pre-position of (1) distance between 1-2-3-4
probes, (2) temperature, and (3) flow rate, the functioning of human blood
transistor can be realized. No attempts were made to optimize the transistor
parameters as the study was exploratory in nature.
