N2 - Membrane distillation is an emerging water distillation technology that offers several advantages compared to
conventional water desalination processes. Although progress
has been made to model and understand the physics of the
process, many studies are based on steady-state assumptions or
are computationally not appropriate for real time control. This
paper presents the derivation of a novel dynamical model, based
on analogy between electrical and thermal systems, for direct
contact membrane distillation (DCMD). The proposed model
captures the dynamics of temperature distribution and distilled
water flux. To demonstrate the adequacy of the proposed model,
validation with transient and steady-state experimental data is
presented.
