Abstract:

Electrospun membranes are being found in many applications and one of them is filtration. Their performance shows a high filtration efficiency that reaches almost 100% for particles below 2.5 µm. The main focus of this study was to firstly experimentally measure the filtration characteristics of electrospun membrane, i.e. pressure drop as a function of velocity and collected mass and filtration efficiency. Additionally, the pore size distribution was obtained from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). This distribution was imported in the software ANSYS Fluent. Finally, the macroscale simulation was done for the setup of the experimental measurement using the capturing mechanism developed in previous work.
