A finite element based numerical model has been employed to describe momentum and mass transfer in open and spacer-filled crossflow membrane channels. Simulations considering operating conditions typical of seawater (SW), brackish water (BW), and reuse water (RW) reverse osmosis (RO) applications are employed for optimization of hypothetical spiral wound element feed spacer designs. Preliminary...

Semiconductor membrane fuel cells are a new promising R&D for solid oxide and proton ceramic cells. There is challenge of the electronic short circuit issue by using semiconductor to replace conventional electrolyte membrane. In this work, type II band alignment heterostructure based on Mg-doped ZnO can, one hand, block electrons passing through junction, other trigger ionic properties boos...

Polymer-based membranes have the potential for use in energy efficient gas separations. The successful exploitation of new materials requires accurate knowledge transport properties all gases interest. Open-source databases permeabilities are significant benefit to research community. Membrane Society Australasia (https://membrane-australasia.org/) hosts a database experimentally measured and r...

for use in extracorporeal circuits, for the removal of toxic substances such as certain metabolites or antibodies from blood. For example, exogenous human serum amyloid P component, a substance associated with Alzheimer’s disease, has been removed from whole rat blood in an extracorporeal circulation system. This model system used a polyclonal antibody coupled to cellulose Sat-sheet membranes. ...

We consider membranes of spherical topology in uncompactified Matrix theory. In general for large membranes Matrix theory reproduces the classical membrane dynamics up to 1/N corrections; for certain simple membrane configurations, the equations of motion agree exactly at finite N . We derive a general formula for the one-loop Matrix potential between two finite-sized objects at large separatio...
