A reverse osmosis membrane has a water permeation coefficient of 2 x 10-5 cm3/(cm2-sec-atm). It is used to treat a brackish water stream at 25 0C that contains 5,000 mg/L of salt (NaCl).
Question 1: Compute the osmotic pressure of the brackish feed stream
Question 2 – If the feed pressure is 27.2 Atm and the membrane area is 5 m2, what is the permeate flow rate.
