Convective model

A simple semi-theoretical steady-state model for the convective flux in cross-flow microfiltration has been developed based on the mass balance. The model, which has two coefficients, A and K, can describes the cake increase on membrane surfaces in a hollow-fiber membrane module and predicts its mem

Based on the assumption that the variation rate of average thickness of the deposition layer is proportional to the difference in the masses of solutes brought to the membrane surface by the bulk fluid flow and the solutes removed from the membrane surface by the shear rate of the tangential flow, a
