Determination of water flux
Jun 25th, 2012, 1:49am
 
Hi

I could not understand how they calculate flux from permeate weight using the following data.  

The filtration area of membrane is 13.4 cm2


Time, T(min)            Permeate weight (g)      Flux (g/13.4 cm2/min)

1                            23.04                              23.04

2                           46.05                               23.01

3                           68.98                               22.93
....


10                          229.1                              22.87


Hope to help from you.


Sincerely yours
Biplob

My guess is that the flux was per 13.4 cm2 rather than on a cm2 or m2 basis. Do the math to get the flux  in the units of measure you are seeking. I also assume that they are using gravimetric units rather than volume units; I would assume that the fluid had the same physical properties as water.

thank you very much. they got data every minute with the same fluid and its simple cumulative system.

For minute 1, flux is (23.04-0)= 23.04
for minute 2 , flux is (46.05-23.04)= 22.01



sincerely yours
