Abstract

Membrane distillation (MD) is a hybrid separation technique increasingly used in various fields such as desalination and the food industry. In this work, we present three theoretical models of flow and heat and mass transfers in membrane distillation unit air gap (AGMD). The results on the effect of membrane pore size have been analyzed for the different mechanisms of mass transfer involved by estimating the flow of generated steam. A mathematical model was presented for determining exchanges and possible combinations.
