3-D numerical investigation on commercial PTFE membranes for membrane distillation: Effect of inlet conditions on heat and mass transfer
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques were implemented to develop a 3-D numerical model to investigate the effect of several inlet conditions on the heat and mass transfer through a commercial PTFE membrane in a specific direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) cell design. The model was...
