Method validation was done for both co- and countercurrent flow, with a range of module dimensions, flowrates and membrane permeabilities.
Then it was used to analyze the effects of operating conditions and module dimensions on local temperatures, heat transfer coefficients, temperature polarization coefficients, heat and mass fluxes and total thermal efficiency in an operation of the feed flowing in the lumen of the fibers and the shell in vacuum.
There exists a range of optimum values of iMBR module dimensions which are likely to relate to key design operation and maintenance (O&M) parameters such as specific aeration demand of the membrane and aeration protocol, gross flux, physical and chemical cleaning protocols, sludge retention time, and pre-treatment.

A commercially available PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane was used in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) to investigate the effect of module dimensions on performance.
However, a submerged hollow fiber module can meet the equivalent performance with much more compact module dimension compared with a plate-and-frame module.
Sequence preparation was as described above, but PhyloGibbs-MP was run treating all of the sequence as potentially regulatory (the specified "module dimension" being the entire length of the sequence).
Mini-module dimensions were 15 cm (length) and 1.2 cm (diameter) and each device contained 10 hollow fibers.
First, we would like to be clear that, contrary to the assertion here, Mathis et al. did not claim to predict a value for the ratio of grid spacings in grid modules in any dimensions, and did not attempt to say anything about the optimal period ratio and grid shape in two dimensions.
Each single module is 150×8×8 cm3 in dimensions and weighs 3.4 kg; 48 such modules are used to assemble the whole telescope.
