| Some hints and an update for [[Assignment 4 - 2012|assignment 4]], question 5:
* The \(A_\text{salt}\) and  \(A_\text{solv}\)  terms '''''are not''''' the area of the membrane: they are the permeances of the salt and solvent respectively. This unfortunate notation is widely used though in most texts.
* There is a correction, the feed concentration '''should be 2.5 g NaCl per liter''' in the feed ('''not 2.5 wt% NaCl'''). I apologize for wasting your time for those of you that have been iterating with negative concentrations.
* And another hint. I found a way to solve question 5 that leads to faster convergence:
** Specify \(C_F\) and \(\theta\)
** Guess \(C_R\) instead
** Calculate \(C_P\) from equation 5
** If your calculated value of \(C_P\) is negative or exceeds \(C_F\), then repeat your guess for \(C_R\), until you get a \(C_P\) that lies between 0 and \(C_F\) and double check also that the rejection coefficient from this \(C_P\) is reasonable, around 90 to 99%.
** This approach to estimate \(C_R\) and then \(C_P\) will get you really close to the final answer.
** Now carry on with the rest of the steps in the notes. It's interesting how simply flipping what you guess first leads to much faster convergence.
** If you iterate and get a negative value for \(C_P\) or \(C_R\), it simply means that you must decrease your guess for that term, since you obviously can't have a negative concentration.
* And a final hint: this question is much better to solve on a computer, with goal seek, than by hand. There is tremendous sensitivity to initial guesses, so solving by hand will take too long.
* For question 2(B), part 3: by definition, optimization implies we have excess degrees of freedom, i.e. more unknowns than equations. You should get a system of 3 unknowns (including \(A_1\) and \(A_2\)) and 2 equations. Set the 3rd unknown to various values (between its lower and upper bound), and solve for \(A_1\) and \(A_2\). Pick the solution that gives the optimum.
