Temperature Polarization Coefficients in Membrane Distillation
Membrane distillation experiments have been carried out by using two Gelman PTFE porous hydrophobic membranes and various sodium chloride aqueous solutions. The influence of stirring rate on the experimental results has been discussed by means of the so-called temperature polarization coefficient. The influence of the remaining relevant parameters, such as solute concentration, mean temperature, and bulk temperature difference has been analyzed.
