Evaluating the Efficiency of a Cold Trap Condenser
Description
Water scarcity is still an issue across the globe, so nonconventional desalination methods need to be developed to be able to get access to clean, safe water. One such method being studied is the pervaporation system, a membrane process that uses a vapor pressure differential to drive the system. There is a need to find the efficiency of the cold trap condenser that is used to collect the permeate so that a thermodynamic model can be fully developed to assist in the development of an industrial scale pervaporation system. An efficiency was not able to be confidently found, but it is believe to be between 95-100%.
