3D CFD Study of PTFE Membrane Distillation by c.ming is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study develops a 3-D numerical model using CFD techniques to investigate the heat and mass transfer through commercial PTFE membranes in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). The results indicate that changing the flow arrangement from parallel to counter flow slightly increases permeate flux, while increasing the inlet Reynolds number significantly enhances both permeate flux and thermal efficiency. Additionally, raising the feed inlet temperature from 303 K to 323 K nearly triples the permeate
