Abstract
In this study, for the improvement of flow pattern with the CDI module that had the larger electrodes, it was designed with the rectangular type which is gradually wider from the inlet. Based on this, both the flow pattern of feed solution and dead zone were observed and the internal pressure, streaming line and velocity vector distribution were analyzed through the computational flow dynamics and compared with the experimental results. For all flow rates of 10, 20, 30 mL/min, there were no dead zones and the flow patterns were maintained constant. Therefore, it may be possible that the larger electrodes are applied to the CDI process.
