Study Of Mass Transfer Through Porous Water-Repellent Membrane As A Function Of Membrane Thickness And Rates Of Heating, Yalamanchili Babu Rao
Masters Theses
"The object of this investigation was to study the mass transfer coefficients through porous water-repellent membranes, and their dependence on membrane thickness and rates of heating, and to compare experimental correlations with theoretically based equations. The membranes used during the experimental work were made of glass fiber treated with Teflon suspension and aluminum sulfate. The mechanism involves evaporation and condensation on opposite sides of a vapor-filled porous membrane. Salt water evaporates from one interface of a non-wettable, porous membrane, diffuses through the vapor filled pores, and condenses to fresh water at the other interface of the membrane. This transfer may …
