Numerical simulation of 3D hollow-fiber vacuum membrane distillation by computational fluid dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed for modeling and simulation of the heat and mass transfer processes in hollow-fiber vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) under laminar flow conditions. A three-dimensional VMD model was first developed and validated by coupling the latent heat with the e...
