Chapter 18, Problem 43E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The minimum pressure that needs to be applied in the permeators to achieve the goal at $29\text{8 K}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Reverse osmosis is defined as the process in which the hydrostatic pressure of the solvent passes through the porous membrane in opposite direction to the natural osmosis is greater than the osmotic pressure. This is a water purification technique by which the ions, molecules and larger particles were removed from water by using semi permeable membrane.

To determine: The minimum pressure that needs to be applied in the permeators at $29\text{8 K}$ .
