Experimental study of thermal performance in air gap membrane distillation systems, including the direct solar heating of membranes

Membrane distillation (MD), a thermally driven membrane technology which runs at a relatively low pressure and withstands high salinity feed streams, has shown potential as a means of desalination and water purification. This paper focuses on the air gap MD (AGMD) process experimentally with the goa...
