Abstract:The rotary energy recovery device (RERD) plays an important role in reverse osmosis (RO) desalination; however, few investigations on the formation and influence of lateral force on the RERD rotor have been published. The transient characteristics of lateral force and its relationship with pressure distribution and fluctuation in the clearance were analyzed via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The clearance pressure distribution and lateral force were quantified under different working conditions… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
