Hydrodynamic Study Through Computational FluidDynamics of Radial Flow Membrane Module
Abstract: Historically Crossflow Membrane modules came first in the membrane-based separation (MBS)process. Its high shear generation overcomes two non-idealities concentration polarization andsubsequent fouling. Primarily, high shear generation and large surface area create a positive domainfor large applications. Thereafter, feed flow rate-dependent shear generation creates a hindrance.This obstruction is overcome with Dynamic Shear Enhanced Membrane Filtration Pilot (DSEMFPs).Low surface area is a vital drawback of DSEMFPs. This radial flow membrane module with …
