Abstract
We evaluated transport-aware tuning for membrane desalination under 48% salinity gradient. A deterministic paired simulation generated 72 cases and preserved a boundary-condition stratum. Mean flux-selectivity balance changed from 0.583 to 0.628; the paired difference was +0.045 (95% interval +0.043 to +0.047). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
