13.9-2 (From Geankpolis 4th edition) A cellulose acetate-membrane with an area of 4.0 x 10-3m^2 is used at 25 degC to determine the permeability constants for reverse osmosis of a feed salt solution containing 12.0 kg NaCl/m^3(density = 1005.5 kg/m^3). The product solution has a concentrationof 0.468 kg NaCl/m^3(density = 997.3 kg/m^3). The measured product flow rate is 3.84 x 10^-8 m^3/s and the pressure difference used is 56.0 atm. Calculate the permeability constants and the solute rejection R.
