Membrane Pressure Drop Formula Elements

Variables
Applied Pressure Driving Force
Applied Pressure Driving Force is defined as the force or pressure that is intentionally exerted or applied to induce or facilitate process.
Symbol: ΔPm
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
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.
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.
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.

FAQs on Membrane Pressure Drop

What is the formula to find Membrane Pressure Drop?
The formula of Membrane Pressure Drop is expressed as Applied Pressure Driving Force = (Tortuosity*32*Liquid Viscosity*Flux through Membrane*Membrane Thickness)/(Membrane Porosity*(Pore Diameter^2)). Here is an example- 119999.2 = (280*32*0.0009*0.0069444*7.5E-05)/(0.35*(6.3245E-06^2)).
How to calculate Membrane Pressure Drop?
With Tortuosity (Τ), Liquid Viscosity (μ), Flux through Membrane (JwM), Membrane Thickness (lmt), Membrane Porosity (ε) & Pore Diameter (d) we can find Membrane Pressure Drop using the formula - Applied Pressure Driving Force = (Tortuosity*32*Liquid Viscosity*Flux through Membrane*Membrane Thickness)/(Membrane Porosity*(Pore Diameter^2)).
What are the other ways to Calculate Applied Pressure Driving Force?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Applied Pressure Driving Force-
  • Applied Pressure Driving Force=Membrane Flow Resistance of Unit Area*Liquid Viscosity*Flux through MembraneOpenImg
Can the Membrane Pressure Drop be negative?
Yes, the Membrane Pressure Drop, measured in Pressure can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Membrane Pressure Drop?
Membrane Pressure Drop is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Pressure. Kilopascal[Pa], Bar[Pa], Pound Per Square Inch[Pa] are the few other units in which Membrane Pressure Drop can be measured.
