TL;DR: In this paper, the most important aspects of the membrane distillation process are presented in a simple manner for a glance understanding the effects of different factors and operating variables on the productivity of each MD configuration.

TL;DR: A comprehensive MD state-of-the-art review covering a wide range of commercial membranes, MD membrane engineering, their MD performance, transport mechanisms, experimental and theoretical modeling of different MD configurations as well as recent developments in MD is offered.

TL;DR: This is a comprehensive review on the development of MD membranes, MD modules, MD membrane characterization, MD configurations, applications in different areas and theoretical models.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model was proposed to evaluate the experimental values of the thermal boundary layers' heat transfer coefficients, the membrane/liquid interface temperatures, the temperature polarization coefficient, membrane mass transfer coefficient and the evaporation efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, a composite hydrophobic/hydrophilic porous membrane is proposed for application in membrane distillation, which combines a low resistance to mass flux achieved by the diminution of the water vapor transport path length through the hydrophilic thin top-layer of the membrane and a low conductive heat loss through the membrane obtained by using thicker hyrophilic sub-layer.
