Transport analysis of an Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) process

Membrane distillation (MD) desalination is an emerging technology for fresh water production. This process incorporates phase change and transport of vapour through a hydrophobic membrane due to difference in vapour pressure across the membrane. The results from experimental studies and the 1 dimens...
