STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bulk Concentration: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required
Water Flux: 0.0001139 Cubic Meter per Square Meter per Second --> 0.0001139 Cubic Meter per Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface: 3E-05 Centimeter per Second --> 3E-07 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Solute Rejection: 0.95 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_m = (C_b*exp(J_w/k_l))/(R_'+(1-R_')*exp(J_w/k_l)) --> (0.3*exp(0.0001139/3E-07))/(0.95+(1-0.95)*exp(0.0001139/3E-07))

Evaluating ... ...

C_m = 5.99999999999999

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.99999999999999 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5.99999999999999 ≈ 6 <-- Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface

What are the Different Types of Membrane Processes?

Microfiltration (MF): This process uses membranes with pore sizes ranging from 0.1 to 10 micrometers to remove larger particles like bacteria, algae, and suspended solids from liquids. It's often used in pre-treatment for other membrane processes and in wastewater treatment.

Ultrafiltration (UF): UF membranes have smaller pore sizes (1-100 nm) and can remove colloids, viruses, and macromolecules like proteins from liquids. It's widely applied in food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and water purification.

Nanofiltration (NF): NF membranes have even smaller pores (0.1-1 nm) and can separate smaller molecules like divalent ions and organic compounds from water. It's used in water softening, desalination, and wastewater treatment.
