Artificial Organ Engineering Maria Cristina Annesini, Luigi Marrelli and Vincenzo Piemonte is an English-language textbook about artificial organs. This book is intended for students and professionals in (biomedical) engineering and medical sciences.
It treats artificial organs as small process installations in which heat, mass, and momentum transfer, and sometimes chemical transformations, take place. Using a bottom-up approach from process engineering, this book analyzes the fundamental physicochemical processes and links them to unit operations. Each artificial kidney is introduced by clinical experts, after which the operation of commonly used devices is evaluated with simple mathematical models.
Artificial Organ Engineering provides a systematic method for assessing and designing artificial organs. It is a valuable reference work for postgraduate students, researchers, and medical professionals who want to gain insight into the operation of this medical technology.
The content aligns with disciplines such as biomedical engineering and medical technology.
