Three-Dimensional Simulation of a Small-Scale Electrodialysis Process for Domestic Use

Abstract

The hydrodynamic by MHD driving force and ionic transport characteristics of an electrolytic solution in a small-scale electrodialysis process are taken into account in this new approach. A three-Dimensional modeling and simulation of coupling Magnetohydrodynamic-Ionic transport are carried out. The numerical values and the effects of applied voltage and magnetic induction on the fluid velocity and ionic concentration of species present in the solution are displayed graphically. The results show that a high decrease of ion concentration is achieved and suggest that the proposed model which has no moving parts can be practically implemented.
