Abstract

Direct-contact membrane distillation (MD) process in a plate-and-frame module with laminar flow is investigated. The performance of a MD process is strongly influenced by heat transfer taking place within the membrane modules. The present study is concerned mainly with heat transfer across membranes, and specifically with assessing the applicability of existing heat-transfer coefficient correlations to MD membrane modules.
