Spacer

In this study, the appropriate cell type for periodic boundary conditions (PBC) in CFD analysis for spacerfilled membrane module design was validated by comparing the simulated values of pressure drop with that obtained by experiments. The pressure drop through spacer-filled channel depends on the g

CFD simulations were used to determine mass transfer coefficients and power consumptions in channels filled with non-woven net spacers. The geometric parameters of a non-woven spacer were found to have a great influence on the performance of a spacer in terms of mass transfer enhancement and power c
