Energy efficiency of membrane distillation up to high salinity: Evaluating critical system size and optimal membrane thickness
This study presents a comprehensive analytical framework to design efficient single-stage membrane distillation (MD) systems for the desalination of feed streams up to high salinity. MD performance is quantified in terms of energy efficiency (represented as a gained output ratio, or GOR) and vapor f...
