The Relation Of Heat Transfer To Mass Transfer In Vaporization Through Porous Membranes., Chung-Liang Yeh Jan 1967

The Relation Of Heat Transfer To Mass Transfer In Vaporization Through Porous Membranes., Chung-Liang Yeh

Masters Theses

"The object of this investigation was to study the mass and heat transport phenomena through porous, water-repellent membranes. The investigation concerned the rate of vaporization of salt water at a porous membrane surface, mass transfer of vapor through the pores of the membrane, condensation of vapor on the other surface of the membrane in contact with a coolant (fresh water), and the undesired heat transfer by conduction through the membrane. The water-repellent membrane separated the two liquid phases by surface tension forces and provided a vapor phase in its pores. Membranes made of fiberglass and Teflon had been found suitable …
