| description | Abstract The significance of mathematical modeling in comprehending engineering problems and predicting solutions, as well as the operational framework of any mechanical system or process, cannot be overstated. In this study, a comprehensive overview of standard mass transfer approaches and trends in mathematical modeling used by different authors in the literatures for efficient prediction of permeability, selectivity, and flux rate through hollow fiber membrane modules for multicomponent gas separation has been reviewed. This article categorizes different modeling approaches into three categories based on Fick’s law of diffusion, which stipulates that the basis of mass transfer across any membrane system is concentration or partial pressure difference. Standard mass transfer mechanisms in porous and nonporous membranes were also discussed in detail to elucidate the significance of the interrelationship between permeability and selectivity in membrane separation processes. Integral mass balance models in one-dimensional plane are the most prevalent and appealing models in many literatures for predicting membrane selectivity, permeability, mass flux, and gas recovery rate due to their simplicity of development and limited number of computations. Nevertheless, this review places greater emphasis on the potential of a fully developed conceptual dimensionless modeling approach in setting future standards in mathematical modeling of CO2 capture with membrane technology. |
