We are doing RO experiments with a completely mixed laboratory unit.
Experiment A. With a very high stirrer speed so that there is no concentration polarization, we do an experiment with a feed that is 0.66 wt% sodium chloride in water. Cut \theta (in mass units) is 0.12, and measured inherent retention is Ro=0.9564. Permeate pressure is 1.3 atm, T=45.0 deg C, and solvent flux is 418.4 g/(m2s). Ksolv/tms=22.29g/(atm m2s). Data: Assume solutions have the same density as water=997kg/m3.Osmotic pressure correlations are given in Eq.(19-14i) as follows. pie=a'X,a'=2.078(324+T), atm/weight fraction, 0.0 lessthan or equal to x less than or equal to 0.02, T is in C
For experiment A, retentate pressure was not recorded. Calculate the value of retentate pressurethat was used for this experiment. Remember to correct for T =/25deg C
