Abstract

To investigate numerically the removal behavior of carbon dioxide in a hollow fiber membrane contactor, the system controlling equations were developed including the nonlinear reversible reaction terms. The reversible chemical reactions were incorporated in the system controlling equations, resulting in the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations which could describe either the absorption of the desorption of carbon dioxide. The computer program was coded using the Fortran language and run with a personal computer to find out the effects of the system variables: the pressures of absorbed and desorbed gases, the absorbent flow rate, the concentration of potassium carbonate, the fiber diameter and the length.
