CFD study of the effect of perforated spacer on pressure loss and mass transfer in spacer-filled membrane channels

One way to reduce pressure loss in spiral wound membrane modules is via creating holes within the feed spacer matrix, leading to increased channel porosity and reduced flow resistance. This study modifies conventional spacer geometry (i.e., dual-layer non-woven spacer) by perforating spacer filament...
