What is Osmotic Pressure?
Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be applied to a semipermeable membrane to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across the membrane. It is a colligative property, meaning that it depends on the concentration of the solute in the solution, but not on its identity. Osmotic pressure is a result of the difference in chemical potential of the solvent between the two sides of the membrane. The chemical potential of a solvent is a measure of its tendency to move from one region to another. In a solution, the chemical potential of the solvent is lower than in pure solvent, due to the presence of the solute. The greater the concentration of the solute, the lower the chemical potential of the solvent.
How to Calculate Osmotic Pressure Drop Based on Solution Diffusion Model?
Osmotic Pressure Drop Based on Solution Diffusion Model calculator uses Osmotic Pressure = Membrane Pressure Drop-((Mass Water Flux*[R]*Temperature*Membrane Layer Thickness)/(Membrane Water Diffusivity*Membrane Water Concentration*Partial Molar Volume)) to calculate the Osmotic Pressure, Osmotic Pressure Drop Based on Solution Diffusion Model is defined as the difference in pressure between the feed and permeate sides of a semi-permeable membrane due to the osmotic pressure of the feed solution. Osmotic Pressure is denoted by Δπ symbol.
