Modeling reverse osmosis element design using superposition and an analogy to convective heat transfer

Accurate models for concentration polarization (CP), the buildup of solutes at the membrane-solution interface in reverse osmosis (RO) channels, are critical for predicting system performance. Despite its empirical success, many modeling approximations employed in the derivation of the often-used st...
