Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes

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.
