Pressure-driven polymeric membrane performance prediction, new membrane dimensionless number, and considerations for effective membrane design, selection, testing, and operation by Alexander R. Anim-Mensah, Alexander R. Anim-Mensah

“…A model is here developed which relates membrane performance, indicated by the permeate solute concentration (Cpi) of species i, to the real-time compressive Young’s modulus (E) during compaction with permeation under a transmembrane pressure (ΔP) or compressive stress. Lower Cpi values indicate better performance. The model integrates solvent densities (ρi), solubility parameters of the membrane (δM), solute (δSo), solvent (δSv), and the extent of membrane constraint (ϕ). …”
