A HEATED ARTIFICIAL LUNG

Artificial neural network based modeling of heated catalytic converter performance

Catalytic converters are the most effective means of reducing pollutant emissions from internal combustion engines under normal operating conditions. But the future emission requirements cannot be met by three way catalysts (TWC) as they cannot effectively remove hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from the outlet of internal combustion engines in the cold-start phase. Therefore...

Studies on multilayer membrane artificial lung.

Studies were carried out to devise a new multilayer membrane artifiilal lung. It was determined from the present studies on flow patterns and dye clearance that the basic design of the multilayer membrane artificial lung should have one-inlet and one-outlet and be elliptic in shape. Many little projections were made on both surfaces of a distributing mat in order to support membranes and to giv...

Lung, Artificial: Current Research and Future Directions

Artificial lungs are medical devices designed to take over or supplement the respiratory function of the lung: oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide. They are generally classified as extracorporeal, paracorporeal, intravascular, or intrathoracic devices (Fig. 1). The artificial lungs used clinically today are extracorporeal blood oxygenators, primarily used in operations requiring c...

Drinker's "Iron Lung" and Other Artificial Respirators

Motion by releasing the oxygen from the cylinder. There was also a bag (as in Haldane's oxygen apparatus) Which served to keep the oxygen pressure from rising too high in the delivery tube. Thus the oxygen on its Way to the face kept the pump working, and this produced alternately a negative and positive pressure in the delivery tube provided the face-piece was closely applied to the face. This...
