“…TP is a major barrier to the widespread application of DCMD technology in industry [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Accordingly, much research has been conducted to elucidate and mitigate the TP phenomenon in MD systems [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], and the phenomenon has been analyzed and predicted in such systems using model equations under various operating conditions [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Additionally, heat transfer analysis was performed according to the angles for the membrane unit, and spacers and modules have been developed to increase the transfer of heat and mass, effectively reducing the TP phenomenon [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
