Chapter 4, Problem 4.5D

(choose chapter or problem)

Owing to their relatively compact size, simple construction, and modest power requirement, centrifugal-type blood pumps are under consideration for several medical applications. Still, centrifugal pumps have met with limited success thus far for blood flow because they can cause damage to blood cells and are subject to mechanical failure. The goal of current development efforts is a device having sufficient long-term biocompatibility, performance, and reliability for widespread deployment. Investigate the status of centrifugal blood pump development, including identifying key technical challenges and prospects for overcoming them. Summarize your findings in a report, including at least three references.
