Numerical and experimental analyses were performed for a modified air gap distillation membrane that combines the low conductive heat loss of an air gap membrane for distillation with the reduced mass transfer resistance of a direct contact membrane. Instead of a stagnant film of air separating the

In order to deepen the understanding of the permeate characteristics of membrane distillation considering heat and mass transfers and concentration polarisation, a fully predictive mathematical model was developed. The first part that is devoted to the natural heat and mass transfer in the rectangul
