CFD Modeling of Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactor for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to its non-dispersive contact, definite interface and high specific volume, a membrane contactor offers many advantages over conventional contactors. In recent years it has been established as a potential replacement for packed absorber columns in the field of CO2 capture. There are many different configurations in which a membrane contactor can operate, while tubular membrane with liquid in lumen side is mostly considered for lab scale experimental studies due to its simplicity [1]. Much work done in this field is in the form of lab scale experimentation and very few researchers have modeled the performance of membrane contactors.

Absorption of CO2 from a gas mixture containing CO2 and nitrogen by water-based CNT nanofluids in gas–liquid hollow fiber membrane contactor was modeled and solved using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4. The model assumed partial wetting of the membrane, along with diffusion in the axial and radial directions. In addition, Brownian motion and grazing effects were both considered in the model. The main c...
