Cb=4.2exp(0.00013E-5)0.95+(1-0.95)exp(0.00013E-5)
Next Step Evaluate
Cb=0.299557407408674
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Cb=0.2996

Bulk Concentration of Membrane Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Bulk Concentration
Bulk concentration is defined as the concentration of solutes in the bulk fluid, which is the fluid that is not in contact with the membrane.
Symbol: Cb
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface
Solute concentration at membrane surface is defined as the concentration of solutes in the fluid immediately adjacent to the membrane surface.
Symbol: Cm
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Water Flux
Water flux is defined as the rate at which water flows through a membrane per unit area.
Symbol: Jw
Measurement: Membrane FluxUnit: m³/(m²*s)
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface
Mass transfer coefficient at membrane surface is defined as the measure of the rate at which solutes can diffuse through the membrane.
Symbol: kl
Measurement: SpeedUnit: cm/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Solute Rejection
Solute rejection is defined as the ability of a membrane to prevent the passage of solutes from a feed solution to the permeate solution.
Symbol: R'
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
exp
n an exponential function, the value of the function changes by a constant factor for every unit change in the independent variable.

How to Evaluate Bulk Concentration of Membrane?

Bulk Concentration of Membrane evaluator uses Bulk Concentration = (Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface)/((exp(Water Flux/Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface))/(Solute Rejection+(1-Solute Rejection)*exp(Water Flux/Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface))) to evaluate the Bulk Concentration, Bulk Concentration of Membrane is defined as a process of using a semipermeable membrane to separate a mixture of solutes into two or more fractions. Bulk Concentration is denoted by Cb symbol.

How to evaluate Bulk Concentration of Membrane using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Bulk Concentration of Membrane, enter Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface (Cm), Water Flux (Jw), Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface (kl) & Solute Rejection (R') and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Bulk Concentration of Membrane

What is the formula to find Bulk Concentration of Membrane?
The formula of Bulk Concentration of Membrane is expressed as Bulk Concentration = (Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface)/((exp(Water Flux/Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface))/(Solute Rejection+(1-Solute Rejection)*exp(Water Flux/Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface))). Here is an example- 0.21 = (4.2)/((exp(0.0001139/3E-07))/(0.95+(1-0.95)*exp(0.0001139/3E-07))).
How to calculate Bulk Concentration of Membrane?
With Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface (Cm), Water Flux (Jw), Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface (kl) & Solute Rejection (R') we can find Bulk Concentration of Membrane using the formula - Bulk Concentration = (Solute Concentration at Membrane Surface)/((exp(Water Flux/Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface))/(Solute Rejection+(1-Solute Rejection)*exp(Water Flux/Mass Transfer Coefficient at Membrane Surface))). This formula also uses Exponential Growth (exp) function(s).
