Fiber Packing Density

Removal of dissolved oxygen from feed water is a necessary process in power industry. The hollow fiber membrane contactor is more efficient and pollution-free compared with some traditional methods. In this paper, hollow fiber is modeled by random distribution, and Gaussian function N(R, sigma) was used to model the polydisperse out radii of hollow fiber. This paper discussed the influence of different sigma on mass transfer coefficient with fiber packing density ranging from 0.1 to 0.4. It was found that, the effect of different sigma on the logarithmic mean Sherwood number decreased with increasing fiber packing density. When the packing density increased to 0.4, the removal of dissolved oxygen could meet the requirement of power industry, no matter how much value the sigma was. With the sigma increasing, the deviation of max and min Sherwood number from the average value increased gradually, except when the sigma was 0.05. This paper deduces there is a best value of sigma for membrane contactor when the fiber distribution is randomly distributed.

Theoretical Results

This paper presents a generalization of the unidimensional deformation equation based on the van Wyk theory. The derivation considers the effect of uncompressed areas between contacting fibers. Theoretical results are verified by the experimental work of Baljasov. The solution is extended to cover bidimensional deformation of an oriented fibrous assembly. The work also proves the importance of using fiber packing density as the argument in the compression equation.

Flux decline and clogging mechanism in hollow fiber bundle by activated sludge and kaolin clay suspensions were investigated experimentally. Filtration characteristics of hollow fiber bundles consisting of 10 fiber threads but different in packing density were observed. The main reason for severe flux decline was due to the accumulation of particles at the space in between fibers. The results showed that there was no particle accumulation when fiber packing density β was lower than a critical value βa. Maximum filtration flux and maximum membrane productivity Q/Vr,which is defined as the filtration rate per unit volume of bundle, were obtained below and at this point, respectively. When fiber packing density β was increased, accumulation of particles happened and flux declined rapidly to a minimum, then increased to a maximum and then decreased when surface clogging predominated in the case of activated sludge filtration, but remained almost constant for the case of kaolin clay suspensions. The critical point where accumulation of particles started was related to cross flow velocity. The higher the cross flow velocity, the higher the value of βa obtained.

Mathematical Evaluation

Part I: Theoretical Model The equilibrium of the yarn element is defined on the basis of a cylindrical model of yarn formation. The fibrous system is considered a continuum. The stress-strain relationship is solved for the element of this fibrous continuum. A mathematical model is proposed which is based on the idea of effective elastic bonds including nonlinearity and finite strains. Through substitution of this model in a differential equation of equilibrium, a differential equation is found which can be solved numerically. Also, the effect of fiber migration is taken partly into consideration. A method of calculation is deduced for the course of the radial fiber packing density. Part II: Application A new method of experimental determination of the course of the fiber packing density is described. The method is based on mathematical evaluation of tracer fibers from photographs produced on the OMEST Tester. A modified evaluation of experimentally determined yarn diameters is proposed. Results obtained with carded cotton yarns are specified. The theoretical model is processed numerically. The input parameters of the numerical solution are discussed. Theoretical results are compared with the results of the fiber packing density and yarn diameter measurements. The findings are discussed from the viewpoint of the physical aspects of the internal mechanics of yarn.
