*2.3. Model Prediction Algorithm*

The analytical equations from Sections 2.1 and 2.2 can be solved to predict the performance of a desalination membrane given the input conditions and fitted parameters. This is the same procedure suggested by Sundaramoorthy et al. [31] but with some changes including the addition of boron transport equations, accounting for a different module design (two feed channels and a single permeate channel) and including the effect of temperature on water and salt transport coefficients.

2.3.1. Input Membrane Geometry


In cases where temperature dependent parameters (apparent activation energies) are unavailable, fixed values for *A*w, *B*S, *B*(H3BO3) , and *B*(H2BO<sup>3</sup> <sup>−</sup>) might be used.
