Mass transfer is central in designing hollow fiber oxygenators. A model system of oxygen transfer to water is developed as a basis for discussion. Previously developed mass transfer correlations are then successfully used to predict experimentally observed oxygen transfer rates. For hollow fiber devices with the same type hydrophobic membrane and membrane area, these correlations allow a comparison of different geometries. The extension of these concepts to oxygen transfer to blood is discussed.
Key words: Membrane / hollow fiber / oxygenator / design
