Shell Side Mass Transfer Characteristics in a Parallel Flow Hollow Fiber Membrane Module

Influence of pH on gas phase controlled mass transfer in a membrane contactor for hydrogen sulphide absorption

“…For low solvent pH, the proposed correlation fitted the data poorly. Shell-side mass transfer has also been described in the laminar regime using the Lé vêque solution [24]. The general assumption of these models is that the fluid layer adjacent to the gas-liquid interface is mixed hence such models are only pertinent for a minimum Gz of 20 [20].…”

“…Although there have been a lot of correlations proposed to determine the shell side mass transfer coefficient (Zheng et al, 2003;Wickramasinghe et al, 1992;Wu and Chen, 2000), the shell side flow has not been well understood. Unlike tube side flow, the function of the fluid hydrodynamics of the shell side is dependent on various parameters, such as the packing density, uniformity of fiber spacing, inlet and outlet effects, and varies significantly.…”
