Modeling spiral-wound membrane modules with applications for gas/vapor permeation

Gas/vapor permeation has become a common method for VOC (volatile organic compound) recovery and CO 2 null capture. The spiral-wound membrane module, which has high packing density, has been commonly used in gas/vapor permeation. In this study, the model that suits the spiral-wound PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) membrane is obtained by using an integral transform from an N–S equation (Navier–Stokes) and a mass transfer differential equation. The...
