We simulated the dynamics of CO2 transport in the alveolar sacs of the human lung. Using Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) framework, we control the movement domain for a normal and fast maneuver. The fluid of room air inspired and CO2 concentrations were approximated by Navier-Stokes and convection diffusion equations; the stress-stretch in the wall for different volumes were quantified in equal time of respiration. The expansion for a normal and forced maneuver were represented as 9 and 90% to the initial geometry. The difference of the CO2 was 73x10
