Synopsis

Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Techniques of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) for Development of Membrane Technology provides updates on new progress in membrane processes due to various challenges and how many industrial companies and academic centers are carrying out these processes.  Chapters help readers understand techniques of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) for the development of membrane technology, including an introduction to the technologies, their applications, and the advantages/disadvantages of CFD modeling of various membrane processes. In addition, the book compares these modeling methods with other traditional separation systems and covers fouling and concentration polarization problems.

The book is a key reference for R&D managers interested in the development of membrane technologies as well as academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the wider areas of strategic treatments, separation and purification processes.

• Includes developments of membrane technologies in different applications by using CFD tools
• Describes CFD methods for evaluation and optimization of membrane process performance
• Indicates CFD method advantages over other modeling strategies for the analysis of membrane/membrane reactor processes

He participated in various national and international projects on membrane reactors and membrane science. In the last years, he was the supervisor/co-supervisor of more than 38 Thesis for Master and Ph.D. students. Ghasemzadeh served as Director of the UUT research center during the period Sep. 2018 – April 2022.

From the Back Cover

In recent years, regarding to the necessity of progresses in membrane processes due to various challenges; many industrial companies and academic centres have focused on finding the best strategy for carrying out the mentioned processes. According to the literatures, CFD method was introduced as one of the most promising options for evaluation and optimization membrane process performance. Therefore, presenting a reference and comprehensive book included all developments of membrane technologies in different applications by using CFD tool can be usable for researchers and engineers in both academic and industrial areas.

Techniques of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) for development of membrane technology illustrates many aspects of the various membrane systems studied during CFD analyses in comparison with other methods and is a source of information for a wide range of people in membrane technology field, including students and researchers, consultants and engineers, operators and managers, who have an interest in modeling of membrane systems. This book is mainly focused on offering an introduction, applications, and the advantages/disadvantages of CFD modelling of various membrane processes. It compares these modelling methods with other traditional separation systems. Traditional issues, such as fouling and concentration polarization problems in membrane processes are also analysed by CFD method. The book is a key reference for R&D managers in industry interested in the development of membrane technologies as well as academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the wider area of the strategic treatment, separation and purification processes.
