Theoretical model for membrane transport of large polye!ectroiyte is presented. When the electric field is applied, the molecular conformation quickly orients in the field direction showing overshooting orientation. the predicted dependence of overshoot time and orientation upon field intensity and molecular size aids to understand the dynamic motion of molecules in membrane transport. The dynamics of the overshoot is associated with self-trapping conformations of molecule. The understanding of these effects supports evidences for the electrophoretic filtration of polydectrolyte in the polymeric membrane. This paper shows one example for molecular study in the theoretical review paper of membrane transport.

In this paper, the static and dynamic behavior of partly wrinkled membrane was studied. Membrane finite elements were used in the analysis and the wrinkling in the element was accounted for by a penalty-parameter material modeling which was implemented as a user subroutine to ABAQUS. The wrinkle algorithm was applied to a corner-loaded square membrane to investigate the effect of wrinkling on the static and dynamic behavior.

In this paper, We propose the initial shape finding and dynamic analysis of cable dome structure are presented. Cable dome that is consist of three component such as cable, strut and fabric membrane have complex structural characteristics. Main structural system of cable dome is cable-strut tensegric system, and fabric membrane element Is conceived as cladding roof material. One of the important problem of cable dome is shape finding of those subjected to cable and membrane forces, which stabilize the structures. And the other is structural response from external load effect such as snow and wind When cable dome are subjected to dynamic load such as wind load each structural component has many important problem because of their special structural characteristics. One problem is that geometrical nonlinearity should be considered in the dynamic analysis because large deformation is occurred from their flexible characteristic. The other problem is that wrinkling occurs occasionally because cable and membrane elements can not transmit compressive forces. So this paper describe the physical structural response of cable dome structure.

In this study characteristics of dynamic filters utilizing Taylor vortices were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. With fine silica slurry of 4.0 $\mu$m in average size experiments were conducted in Taylor vortices generated between the rotating inner cylinder consisting of microfiltration membrane of 1.2 $\mu$m in average pore size and the stationary outer cylinder. The diameter of the inner cylinder was 5.2 cm. Four outer cylinders having different diameters were manufactured and therefore four types of dynamic filters having the different ratio of the annular gap to the inner cylinder radius, i.e. 0.17, 0.33, 0.54, 0.65, were used as the experimental apparatus, as shown in Fig. 1.

The purpose of this study is to propose the method of determining the initial pneumatic membrane structures surface and stresses and displacements. Tension structure such as pneumatic membrane structures is stabilized by their initial prestress and air pressure. The process to find initial structural overall shape of tension structures produced by initial prestress called shape finding. One of the most important factor for the design of membrane structures is to search initial smooth surface, because unlike steel or concrete building elements which resist loads in bending, all tension structure forces are carried within the surface by membrane stress. The result for initial surface of pneumatic membrane element and maximum displacement in large deformation in analysis is compared with well-known nonlinear numerical method such as Newton-raphson method and dynamic relaxation method

The dynamic responses of both the in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations are investigated for an axially moving membrane. The equations of motion are derived for the moving membrane with no-slip boundary conditions by using the extended Hamilton principle. Based on the Galerkin method, the discretized equations of motion are derived. The generalized-time integration method is applied to compute the dynamic responses for the in-plane and out-of-plane motions. From the computed results, the responses are compared between the in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations. Furthermore. the effects of velocity and acceleration on the dynamic behaviours for displacements and stresses are presented.

Many researchers have discussed how membrane performance can be enhanced through an understanding of polymer science and engineering. The understandings of transport in porous membrane are used to achieve the isolation of certain components from mixtures. Particular emphasis is placed on the applicability of membrane separations for the isolation of macromolecules[1]. An awareness of membrane structure characteristics is required for the rational design of membranes for specific and/or new applications. This understanding rests on the knowledge of fields such as polymer thermodynamics[2], polymer adsorption [3, 4], diffusion in polymers[5, 6], reaction mechanism[7], and the dynamic behavior[8, 9] of polymer in porous membrane.

Membrane distillation (MD), which can utilize low-grade thermal energy, has been extensively studied for desalination. By incorporating solar thermal energy, the solar membrane distillation desalination system (SMDDS) is a potential technology for resolving the energy and water resource problems. Small-scale SMDDS (s-SMDDS) is an attractive and viable option for the production of fresh water for small communities in remote arid areas. The minimum-cost design and operation of s-SMDDS are determined by a systematic method, which involves a pseudo steady state approach for equipment sizing and the dynamic optimization using overall system mathematical models. The s-SMDDS employing three MD configurations, including the air gap (AGMD), direct contact (DCMD) and vacuum (VMD) types, are optimized. The membrane area of each system is $11.5m^2$. The AGMD system operated for 500 kg/day water production rate gives the lowest unit cost of $5.92/m^3$. The performance ratio and recovery ratio are 0.85 and 4.07%, respectively. For the commercial membrane employed in this study, the increase of membrane mass transfer coefficient up to two times is beneficial for cost reduction and the reduction of membrane heat transfer coefficient only affects the cost of the DCMD system.

In this study, dynamic simulation of membrane reactor was performed for water gas shift reaction and temperature, hydrogen concentration, etc. were investigated as a function of time and position. Simulation results indicated that differences of hydrogen concentration, hydrogen partial pressure, and temperature in the radial direction, were larger in the entrance than in the exit. In addition, the hydrogen flux was the largest in the entrance, where the hydrogen partial pressure difference was the largest, and the conversion of carbon monoxide in the exit was about 0.65.
