A reverse osmosis hollow fiber membrane has a water permeability (Aw) of 1.6108m/s/ bar. The external diameter is 0.1mm. The manufacturer claims that total flow rate (Q) is 5m3/ day at 60 bar and 298K for seawater, containing 3%NaCl(Mw=58.4g/mole). =icRT,Jw=Aw(P) R=8.314J/mol/K Joule =kgm2/s2,Pa=N/m2=(kgm/s2)/m2 (a) Calculate the module flux (Jw) in m/s. (b) How many fibers are contained within a membrane module with a length of 1m ? The number of fibers can be obtained when the membrane area is known since A=(n)()(d)(L). Where n is the number of fibers, d is the diameter of a fiber, and L is the module length. (c) Calculate the flow rate of water through ONE fiber in L/ day
