A bioartificial liver has a plasma flow of 1000 mL min−1 through a hollow fiber unit that contains hepatocytes on the shell side. The hollow fiber unit contains 10,000 fibers. The fiber length is 75 cm and the inside diameter of the fibers is 300 μm. What is the pressure drop across each fiber in mmHg?
