Do we consider the vaccum pressure in the calculating of the membrane flux in a vaccum membrane distillation process? Why?

22 August 2023 0 8K Report

In pressured-based membrane technologies, such as MF, UF, and NF, we use the following equation to determine the membrane flux:

J= L/(A.t.p) with the unite of LMHbar

Do we consider vacuum pressure or temperature difference in calculating the flux of VMD process?

Best regards
