{"product_id":"artificial-organ-engineering-maria-cristina-annesini-9781447164425","title":"Artificial Organ Engineering","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtificial organs may be considered as small-scale process plants, in which heat, mass and momentum transfer operations and, possibly, chemical transformations are carried out. This book proposes a novel analysis of artificial organs based on the typical bottom-up approach used in process engineering. Starting from a description of the fundamental physico-chemical phenomena involved in the process, the whole system is rebuilt as an interconnected ensemble of elemental unit operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach artificial organ is presented with a short introduction provided by expert clinicians. Devices commonly used in clinical practice are reviewed and their performance is assessed and compared by using a mathematical model based approach. Whilst mathematical modelling is a fundamental tool for quantitative descriptions of clinical devices, models are kept simple to remain focused on the essential features of each process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePostgraduate students and researchers in the field of chemical and biomedical engineering will find that this book provides a novel and useful tool for the analysis of existing devices and, possibly, the design of new ones. This approach will also be useful for medical researchers who want to get a deeper insight into the basic working principles of artificial organs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Cristina Annesini,Luigi Marrelli,Vincenzo Piemonte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447164423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447164425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Maria Cristina Annesini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518497796351,"sku":"9781447164425","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f6e520f-5624-445e-9986-4c4f50c0a3a9.jpg?v=1778734661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artificial-organ-engineering-maria-cristina-annesini-9781447164425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
