Description

The three notebooks compute the permeate and residue compositions obtained using a membrane separation module. Membrane area is also computed. Feed is air and is considered as a binary mixture. Complete mixing model, cross-flow model and countercurrent-flow model are used. This problem was proposed by C. J. Geankoplis in Transport Processes and Unit Operations, 3rd edition, Prentice Hall, 1993 (examples 13.4-2 and 13.6-1 in pages 767 and 775). We use a different approach to solve this air separation problem than the one used by Professor Geankoplis. In addition, we extend his resolution to the countercurrent-flow model.
