By what factors is the pressure in the membrane affected?
The temperature of the feed water. The higher the temperature of the feed water, the faster the water molecules move, which can increase the rate of water permeation through the membrane. This means that less pressure is required to force water through the membrane when the temperature of the feed water is high.
The surface area of the membrane. The larger the surface area of the membrane, the more water can pass through the membrane at a given pressure.
The thickness of the membrane. The thicker the membrane, the more difficult it is for water to pass through the membrane, which means that more pressure is required.
How to Calculate Pressure Driving Force in Membrane?
Pressure Driving Force in Membrane calculator uses Applied Pressure Driving Force = Membrane Flow Resistance of Unit Area*Liquid Viscosity*Flux through Membrane to calculate the Applied Pressure Driving Force, Pressure Driving Force in Membrane is defined as the difference in fluid pressure existing on either side of a membrane. Applied Pressure Driving Force is denoted by ΔPm symbol.
How to calculate Pressure Driving Force in Membrane using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Pressure Driving Force in Membrane, enter Membrane Flow Resistance of Unit Area (Rm), Liquid Viscosity (μ) & Flux through Membrane (JwM) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Pressure Driving Force in Membrane calculation can be explained with given input values -> 119999.2 = 48003072200*0.0009*0.0069444.
