... 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...

...Seounghyun Ham; Shiv G. Kapoor; Richard E. DeVor; John E. Wentz A three-dimensional fluid dynamic model is developed to predict flux decline due to membrane fouling during the microfiltration of semisynthetic metalworking fluids. The model includes surface forces as well as hydrodynamic effects...

...Seounghyun Ham; Shiv G. Kapoor; Richard E. DeVor; John Wentz Microfiltration is an in-process recycling method that shows great potential to extend fluid life and reduce bacterial concentrations in synthetic and semisynthetic metalworking fluids. The primary problem facing the use...

.... The model is fitted to experimental data from two commonly used membrane pore sizes with good agreement. Partial blocking is shown to be a predominant first step in the pore blocking mechanism in microfiltration of semisynthetic MWFs due to the tortuous nature of the pores present in sintered ceramic...
