Heat and mass transfer in membrane distillation
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of temperature polarisation is introduced and shown to be important in the interpretation of experimental results, and hollow fiber and tubular membrane distillation systems are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microporous hollow fibers for gas absorption. I. Mass transfer in the liquid
Zhang Qi,Edward L Cussler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for the operation of hollow fiber membrane modules is developed, and mass transfer coefficients in the liquid phase are investigated, and the results show when the advantage of the increased area is greater than the disadvantage of the membrane resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gaseous Diffusion in Porous Media at Uniform Pressure
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the diffusion of gases in porous media in the absence of pressure gradients is presented, in which the porous medium is visualized as a collection of uniformly distributed ''dust'' particles which are constrained to be stationary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas and vapour transport through microporous membranes. II. Membrane distillation
TL;DR: In this article, experimental membrane distillation fluxes were increased by up to 50% by deaeration and a new theoretical model showed that under these conditions, membrane permeability increased by around seven-fold, but temperature polarisation decreased the thermal driving force by five-fold.

Gaseous Diffusion in Porous Media. II. Effect of Pressure Gradients
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the diffusion of gases in porous media at uniform pressure is extended to allow for pressure gradients, where the porous medium is visualized as a collection of ''dust'' particles constrained to remain stationary in space.
