Membrane Separator - Assumptions

Assumptions

  1. A constant pressure on both the permeate and residue side.

  2. The driving force is partial pressure as calculated by ideal gas law.

  3. The gas membrane unit is governed by the following equation:

     

where:

 

 Fi = flow of component i in standard (volume/time) units
Area = area of membrane in (length)
2 units
P
i = partial pressure of component i in (pressure) units = xiP
