Abstract:Pleated membrane filters are ubiquitous in many industrial filtration systems due to their high surface-area-to-volume ratio. However, their performance often falls short compared to flat non-pleated membrane filters of the same membrane surface area. This raises the question: What is the optimal initial internal pore structure of the membrane to achieve the most efficient filtration? To address this question, we first present a mathematical model describing the feed flow and particle transport within the comp… Show more
