Abstract
We evaluated transport-aware tuning for membrane desalination under 24% salinity gradient. A deterministic paired simulation generated 56 cases and preserved a median slice. Mean flux-selectivity balance changed from 0.580 to 0.630; the paired difference was +0.050 (95% interval +0.047 to +0.053). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
