A Parametric Analysis of Capillary Height in Single-Layer, Small-Scale Microfluidic Artificial Lungs

Microfluidic artificial lungs (μALs) are being investigated for their ability to closely mimic the size scale and cellular environment of natural lungs. Researchers have developed μALs with small artificial capillary diameters (10–50 µm; to increase gas exchange efficiency) and with large capillary...
