Experimental and CFD Studies on the Performance of Microfiltration Enhanced by a Turbulence Promoter
This paper reports experimental and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) studies on the performance of microfiltration enhanced by a helical screw insert.The experimental results show that the use of turbulence pro-moter can improve the permeate flux of membrane in the crossflow microfiltration of calcium carbonate suspension
and flux improvement efficiency is strongly influenced by operation conditions.The energy consumption analysis indicates that the enhanced membrane system is more energy saving at higher feed concentrations.To explore the intrinsic mechanism of flux enhancement by a helical screw insert
three-dimensional CFD simulation of fluid flow was implemented.It reveals that hydrodynamic characteristics of fluid flow inside the channel are entirely changed by the turbulence promoter.The rotational flow pattern increases the scouring effect on the tube wall
reducing the particle deposition on the membrane surface.The absence of stagnant regions and high wall shear stress are respon-sible for the enhanced filtration performance.No secondary flow is generated in the channel
owing to the streamline shape of helical screw insert
so that the enhanced performance is achieved at relatively low energy consumption.
