Diffusion through a dialysis membrane.
A dialysis process is designed to recover solute A from a solution of 0.02 M (c). The
end product contains A at the concentration of 0.003 M (c2). The membrane thickness
(L) is
m, the distribution (partition) coefficient
is 0.7 and the effective
diffusivity of A in membrane
is
m2/s. The mass transfer coefficients in
the solution on both sides of the membrane are
m/s and 
m/s. 

(a) Calculate the membrane coefficient,
.
