Modeling of hollow fiber membrane module for hydrogen separation using computational fluid dynamics

In this paper a 3D modeling of hollow fiber membrane using computational fluid dynamic for H2 separation from gas mixture was considered in steady state. The influences of membrane number and their arrangement on Hydrogen separation have been studied. The simulation of model has been performed using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.4. Comparison the results of simulation with experimental data show good agreement.
