Abstract
We evaluated transport-aware tuning for membrane desalination under 40% salinity gradient. A deterministic paired simulation generated 72 cases and preserved a low-signal stratum. Mean flux-selectivity balance changed from 0.502 to 0.550; the paired difference was +0.048 (95% interval +0.046 to +0.051). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
