Ing.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1995. This project entails the modelling of the transport phenomena in an air gap membrane distillation unit. A dense hydropholic membrane was used, instead of a porous, hydrophobic membrane as used in the literature. No such a model could be found in the literature. Furthermore, an air gap membrane distillation unit had to be designed. A good correlation existed between the experimental results and the results predicted by the fundamental model. Although the fundamental model, as well as the empirical model tended to deviate under certain operating conditions, more accurate results could be obtained by combining these models.
