Three dimensionless parameters influencing the optimal membrane orientation for forward osmosis

In many forward osmosis applications, flux is maximised (and capital costs minimised) when the membrane is oriented such that the feed solution faces the support layer (PRO mode). Here, a framework is developed to understand the factors that determine the membrane orientation that maximises flux. In...
