Concentration in Renal Counterflow Systems

John L Stephenson

PMCID: PMC1368013 PMID: 5970561

Abstract

In this paper earlier work on two-loop counterflow systems is extended to n-loop systems. It is shown that a large class of such systems in which exchange between the flow tubes is passive is unable to concentrate or dilute.
