This study presents the design and optimization of a hollow fiber membrane module for membrane distillation (MD) applications. Membrane distillation is a thermally-driven separation process where a hydrophobic membrane facilitates the passage of water vapor while rejecting non-volatile solutes. The hollow fiber configuration offers several advantages, including high surface area-to-volume ratio and compact module design, which are crucial for enhancing the efficiency and scalability of MD systems. The research delves into various design parameters such as fiber material selection, pore size distribution, fiber packing density, and module configuration.
