Abstract
Hollow fiber ceramic membrane technology demonstrates a great potential for high performance oxygen separation from air. Upscaling of single hollow fiber membrane for membrane stacks and modules is necessary toward practical applications. However, experimental methods are very time-consuming and highly cost. Mathematical modeling is a cost-effective technique and very flexible to evaluate different upscaling strategies. In this research, built upon the experimental results of a proof-of-concept hollow fiber membrane stack, a computational fluid dynamics-based Multiphysics stack model is developed and validated. Comprehensive simulations are conducted to understand the behaviors of stacks under different operating conditions. Different designs strategies are also evaluated toward optimizations of stack performance.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
