A review on use of a hollow fiber membrane as a new technology (applications)

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

In the last decades, the hollow fiber membranes have attracted substantial importance as a potential structural material for different applications. Research and development efforts are being made to use hollow fiber membranes as VARs for the automotive applications, heat exchangers and filtrations of the contaminations. Hollow fiber membranes, a relatively new group of materials are in considerable demand in recent years by technological, economical and ecological aspects. . The use of hollow fiber membranes offer a number of advantages, since they are derived from a hydrophobic materials, require low energy inputs in their manufacture, and can be disposed of at the end of their life-cycle by composting and can be renewable by very small maintenance activity. Further the hollow fiber membrane cost as well as having satisfactory mechanical properties. Hollow fiber membranes can play very important role in the implementation of the new generation technologies and it also increases the performance of the system. Thus the hollow fiber available very cheaply and are easy to maintain, this criteria makes it very popular now a days. The aim of this paper is to provide a consolidated report of the researches in the field of different hollow fiber membrane and its applications.
