title: A network thermodynamic model of the concentrating properties of the rabbit/rat kidney in the steady state using the electronic network simulation program SPICE.
abstract: A model for the simulation of the diluting and concentrating properties of the rabbit and rat kidney is developed. Translation of the physical model into an electronic one brings the model into a form that can be handled by the electronic network simulation program SPICE. The steady state responses of both kidneys to various inputs are calculated under certain conditions.
