description Hollow fiber membranes are used in industrial processes widely. Porosity is one of the important parameters affecting the humidification performance of hollow fiber membrane components. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of porosity of hollow fiber membrane on humidification performance. In order to perform this analysis, a model based on the finite element method was used to simulate numerically the heat and mass transfer under 6 porosity conditions. Five working conditions with different air flow was considered in order to get more data. The results show that when the porosity increases from 0.35 to 0.8, the humidification performance is greatly improved. However, when it increases from 0.8 to 0.9, the humidification performance is almost unchanged. Considering the humidification performance and support strength of hollow fiber membrane, it is suggested to control the porosity of hollow fiber membrane between 0.65 and 0.8.
