The world is experiencing serious shortages, unequal distributions, and contamination of the available freshwater resources. Many factors like geography, climate change, increasing …
Abstract Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) has emerged as a promising means of concentrating brines to their saturation limit. To date, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …
There have been tremendous advances in membrane distillation (MD) since the concept was introduced in 1961: new membrane designs and process configurations have emerged …
Temperature polarization is a crucial issue in the application of the membrane distillation technique, as it can significantly affect its entire performance. Experimental and numerical …
Abstract Air-Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) promises to reduce heat loss in membrane distillation. Most AGMD models are one-dimensional and do not consider the downstream …
Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) is a promising means of concentrating brines to their saturation limit. During that process, membrane spacers play a key role in …
Feed spacers are incorporated in membrane modules to enhance fluid mixing, thereby enhancing membrane flux. Previous experimental work showed that triply periodic minimal …
