Abstract:A method for calculating external mass transfer in a contactor with transverse confined flow of a viscous incompressible liquid (gas) past a hollow fiber membrane at low Reynolds numbers has been pro posed. The method is based on the concept of array of hollow fiber membranes as a hexagonal system of par allel fibers to which the Kuwabara cell model with a known flowfield is applicable. Asymmetric membranes with macroporous permeable outer supports have been considered. A solution of the problem on the externa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
