Membrane Pore Diameter Formula Elements

Variables
Pore Diameter
Pore diameter is defined as the distance between two opposite walls of a pore.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: μm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Liquid Viscosity
Liquid viscosity is defined as the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or its internal friction when subjected to an external force.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Kg/ms
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Flux through Membrane
Flux through membrane is defined as the rate of movement or transfer of a substance per unit area across a porous barrier known as a membrane.
Symbol: JwM
Measurement: Membrane FluxUnit: m³/(m²*s)
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tortuosity
Tortuosity is an intrinsic property of a porous material usually defined as the ratio of actual flow path length to the straight distance between the ends of the flow path.
Symbol: Τ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Membrane Thickness
Membrane thickness is defined as the difference between the internal and outernal boundary of the membrane.
Symbol: lmt
Measurement: LengthUnit: μm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Membrane Porosity
Membrane porosity is defined as the void volume fraction of a membrane. It is the volume of the pores divided by the total volume of the membrane.
