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...
