Numerical simulation and evaluation of spacer-filled direct contact membrane distillation module

Abstract Membrane fouling and temperature polarization are the most common issues that cause limitations to membrane distillation (MD) process. Integration of spacers has been proven to resolve those problems by inducing regions of turbulence and giving the required mechanical support to the membran...
