    Abstract

    A mathematical model describing the mass transfer in a parallel-plate dialyser with co-current laminar flow in both channels based on the Navier-Stokes equations and Fick's second law was developed. Numerical solutions are presented for pulse- and stepwise concentration changes of the solute in one of the channels using the Laplace transform technique. By simulation the influence of the main design and operational parameters of the dialyser and the most important physical constants for the mass transfer process were investigated. Conclusions with regard to optimum design and operation were drawn and some possibilities for simplifying the model were established
