Membrane Separation Flux Calculator vs Centrifugal Pump Sizing Calculator
Two calculators for the same neighbourhood of questions. Here is what each measures, what you feed in, and where you'd reach for one over the other.
Membrane Separation Flux Calculator
Computes the required membrane area for reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration systems given flow rate, recovery, and pressure conditions. Use it when sizing membranes for water treatment, desalination, or industrial separation plants.
- Answers
- Required Membrane Area (m²)
- Inputs
- Feed Flow Rate, Water Recovery Ratio, Transmembrane Pressure, Osmotic Pressure, Membrane Permeability Constant
Centrifugal Pump Sizing Calculator
Calculate the shaft power required to drive a centrifugal pump given flow rate, total head, and combined pump and motor efficiency. Used when selecting a pump-motor set for fluid transfer systems.
- Answers
- Required Motor Power (kW)
- Inputs
- Flow Rate, Static Head, Friction Losses, Fluid Density, Pump Efficiency, Motor Efficiency
