A methodology for simplifying the solution procedure for hollow fiber bioreactor design equations has been described. Such a procedure facilitates decoupling of membrane and spongy matrix equations from the tube side equations. The equivalence between the reduced equations and the hemodialyzer problem has been explicitly obtained.
