The model is then integrated along the length of a hollow fiber membrane humidifier in order to predict humidifier performance as a function of design variables, operating variables and operational strategies. For realistic values of membrane thickness and flow parameters, the model suggests that while membrane-gas interfacial resistance alone is crucial for heat transfer, the vapor transfer is governed by the combined resistances of diffusion within the membrane and membrane-gas interface. The model is validated against experimental data obtained using a commercial hollow fiber</p>10aCoupled Heat and Mass10aFuel Cell Applications10aHumidification10aPhase equilibrium10aProton exchange membrane10aWater-to-gas1 aPandey, R.1 aLele, A.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/modelling-water-gas-hollow-fiber-membrane-humidifier
