Designing hollow-fiber contactors

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass transfer correlations reported in this paper are similar to earlier heat and mass transfer correlation, but can be complicated by diffusion across the fiber wall and by alterations in fiber geometry.

Microporous hollow fibers for gas absorption. I. Mass transfer in the liquid

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.
