Effectiveness-mass transfer units (ε-MTU) model of an ideal pressure retarded osmosis membrane mass exchanger

Many membrane-based systems, such as reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), are being used in desalination, water treatment, and energy production. These systems work on the basis of mass transfer through a semi-permeable membrane which allows for the permeat...
