Abstract

The asymptotic solution using the Tailor series has been given explicit form for the solute concentration and overall solute removal in hemodiafilter using one dimensional model. The numerical solutions have been calculated within 0.001% error by the Romberg integration method. Compared with the numerical solutions, the oneterm asymptotic solutions were found to be within 3% error for the condition > 3.0 and three-terms asymtotic solutions were required for the condition >0.7 where denotes measure of convection over diffusional transport and a the ratio of blood flow rate over dialysate flow rate.
