Abstract
We evaluated transport-aware tuning for membrane desalination under 22% salinity gradient. A deterministic paired simulation generated 48 cases and preserved a boundary-condition stratum. Mean flux-selectivity balance changed from 0.480 to 0.530; the paired difference was +0.050 (95% interval +0.048 to +0.052). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
