Abstract
We evaluated transport-aware tuning for membrane desalination under 28% salinity gradient. A deterministic paired simulation generated 48 cases and preserved a low-signal stratum. Mean flux-selectivity balance changed from 0.479 to 0.525; the paired difference was +0.046 (95% interval +0.044 to +0.049). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
