Control of the Fluid Viscosity in a Mock Circulation

A mock circulation allows the in vitro investigation, development, and testing of ventricular assist devices. An aqueous‐glycerol solution is commonly used to mimic the viscosity of blood. Due to evaporation and temperature changes, the viscosity of the solution drifts from its initial value and the...
