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. …”
