The Effect of Osmotic Dehydration on Reverse Osmosis Membrane Performance
Akin type (asymmetric) reverse osmosis membranes undergo an irreversible osmotic dehydration upon coming into contact (skin side) with salt solutions. The extent of consequent changes (in appearance; decrease in linear dimension, water flux and salt rejection) are dependent on the salt concentration. These observations are correlated with the expected morphological changes taking place duri...
متن کاملEffects of buoyancy and of magnetic forces on osmotic pressure.
The commonly held view that the mechanism of osmotic pressure is a mass action effect at the semi-permeable membrane has recently been challenged by several authors who propose that solute molecules, in bombarding the free surface of the solution, subject the solvent to a negative hydrostatic pressure. Thus, they argue that osmotic pressure is a purely hydrostatic phenomenon. Experimental findi...

متن کاملOsmotic pressure induced tensile forces in tendon collagen
Water is an important component of collagen in tendons, but its role for the function of this load-carrying protein structure is poorly understood. Here we use a combination of multi-scale experimentation and computation to show that water is an integral part of the collagen molecule, which changes conformation upon water removal. The consequence is a shortening of the molecule that translates ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure under dehydration due to fasting
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the diurnal intraocular pressure fluctuations under dehydration conditions and the relationship between the intraocular pressure fluctuations and blood pressure. Methods: The intraocular pressures (IOP), body weights, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) of 36 fasting healthy volunteers were recorded at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m...
