Modelling the impact of feed spacers on the mass flux through a membrane

A project has been carried out to study the flow and mass transfer in membranes separated by various spacers. Both computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis as well as experimental analysis using laser Doppler anemometer are performed. The project is done for Danish Separation Systems (DSS) (now Alfa Laval - membrane filtration) in Nakskov. (Rolf Hansen, Jan Hvidberg, Tron Solberg, Bjørn H. Hjertager)
