... a fluid dynamic-based approach to the prediction of the flux decline due to partial and complete pore blocking in the microfiltration process. The electrostatic force model includes both particle–particle (PP) and particle–membrane (PM) electrostatic forces. The addition of such forces was shown to affect...

... polymer by surface tension [ 3 13 ]. In this paper, an electrostatic force is then applied to shape the polymer liquid from a hemisphere into a hyperboloid or near-cone shape for 1 × 5 fiber array. This novel manipulation can be utilized to fabricate an aspherical lens on a fiber array after the UV...

... of microfiltration is membrane fouling, which is the blocking of membrane pores causing reduced flux. In this paper a fluid dynamic model of partial and complete blocking in sintered alumina membranes is developed that includes hydrodynamic, electrostatic, and Brownian forces. Model simulations are employed to study...
