Abstract
We evaluated transport-aware tuning for membrane desalination under 17% salinity gradient. A deterministic paired simulation generated 64 cases and preserved a boundary-condition stratum. Mean flux-selectivity balance changed from 0.482 to 0.531; the paired difference was +0.049 (95% interval +0.047 to +0.051). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
