Abstract A numerical study on the conjugated heat-mass transfer of helical hollow fiber membrane tube bank (HFMTB)
for seawater desalination was carried out. Physical and mathematical models of fluid flow, temperature and
humidity distribution were constructed to investigate the influences of flow type, Reynolds number, and temperature on the conjugated heat-mass transfer performance of hollow fibers in the distillation membrane module. The
conjugated heat-mass transfer characteristics of HFMTB were discussed by utilizing the friction coefficient, Nusselt number (Nu), and Sherwood number (Sh). Results demonstrate that a distillation efficiency enhancement of
29% compared to the straight HFMTB has been detected for four-helical… More >
