Multiphysics Modeling and Analysis of a Solar Desalination Process Based on Vacuum Membrane Distillation
A hollow fiber vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) module was modeled using finite element analysis, and the results were used to conduct an exergy efficiency analysis for a solar-thermal desalination scheme. The performance of the VMD module was simulated under various operating conditions and membr...
