Virus filter simulation

feed -> filtrate (product) + retained

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a virus filter — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

$V(t)$

cumulative throughput [L/m^2]

$V_{max}$

capacity [L/m^2]

$J_0$

clean-filter flux [LMH]

$A$

required membrane area [m^2]

$V_{batch}$

batch volume [L]

$t_{proc}$

available process time

Parameters

v_max [L/m^2 capacity, from a Vmax trial], initial_flux [LMH, clean filter]. Optional: batch_time [s], area [m^2 installed — checks rather than sizes], product_recovery [default 0.98].
