In this research combination of membranes, vacuum pump and vapor compression refrigeration (VCR) system is proposed as a water harvesting system. Polymeric membranes Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), helped to separate water vapor from air by increasing the partial pressure of water vapor on the permeate side due to the separation process. The water vapor permeability has been assumed constant even with change in the pressure difference on two sides of the membrane in many research studies. However, this research uses its own developed relations obtained based on experimental results for variable pressure difference on both sides of membranes. As this proposed membrane system provides the air with near saturated water vapor conditions, thus, VCR system requires lower cooling capacity and lower electricity consumption for the condensation process. This proposed water harvesting system is modeled in energy and economic aspects for the first time and is optimized in this research by applying multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. The water production rate and the total annual cost rate were considered as two objective functions. Also, five design variables are selected after considering their effects on the objective functions. The optimization procedure performed for four different climate zones of Iran. Optimization results for the second zone showed 3.56 L per hour water production rate with about 29 % lower energy consumption in comparison with that for typical condensation process of water vapor in the same atmospheric air.

Although membrane technology presents a highly cost-effective approach for carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) capture, further research is required to overcome the inherent trade-off between selectivity and permeability to achieve enhanced performance. A novel defect-engineered ultrasmall cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-templated UiO-66 MOF (CNC-UiO-66 hybrid) was synthesized to improve the performance of Pebax membranes. The elongated geometry of the CNC-UiO-66 hybrid creates extended facilitated transport channels for CO<sub>2</sub>, while the highly defective structure, induced by the presence of CNC during synthesis, enhances coordination interactions with both CO<sub>2</sub> and the polymer matrix. As a result, Pebax incorporated with CNC-UiO-66 demonstrated increased crystallinity and thermal stability. The incorporation of as little as 1 wt% of the CNC-UiO-66 hybrid into Pebax membranes achieved a remarkable CO<sub>2</sub> permeability of 1442 Barrer and a selectivity of 40, surpassing the Robeson upper bound (2008) for CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> separation.

To achieve this, we use a genetic algorithm to determine the optimal arrangement of square obstacles within a turbulent flow field. The process starts with an image processing method (IPM) that identifies geometric objects in the filtered image. Following this, the edges of these objects are delineated, and a mesh is generated throughout the fluid flow field and around the identified filter objects. To solve the hydrodynamics and turbulent equations, we apply the finite volume method. Furthermore, a staggered grid is utilized to store scalar and vector variables. The genetic algorithm (GA) iteratively generates new arrangements, which are then evaluated and selected for mutation to refine the optimized design. This refined configuration of the filters is designed to enhance the particle trapping rate.
