Exergetic analysis of direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) using PVDF hollow fiber membranes for the desalination brine treatment

The brines from desalination plants need to be disposed of due to their strong impact on the environment. Membrane operations, like direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD), provide a possible solution to reduce the amount of brine while producing further desalinated water. In this study, an exer...
