INFLUENCE OF RESIDENCE-TIME DISTRIBUTION ON A SURFACE-RENEWAL MODEL OF CONSTANT-PRESSURE CROSS-FLOW MICROFILTRATION
Abstract This work examines the influence of the residence-time distribution (RTD) of surface elements on a model of cross-flow microfiltration that has been proposed recently (Hasan et al., 2013). Along with the RTD from the previous work (Case 1), two other RTD functions (Cases 2 and 3) are used t...
