By mass balance
m 1 = m2 + m 3
Qv1 1= Qv2 2 + Qv3 3
1 = 2 = 3
Qv1 = Qv2 + Qv3

Therefore, concentrate flow is

Qv3 = 7 - 5 = 2 gpm

% recovery
%R = (5/7) x 100%
%R = 71.43%

Salt rejection efficiency

(500s 10s) / 500s = 490/500 = 98%

Assuming no impurities are retained in the membrane,

Mass balance of impurities:
7 gpm x 500s = 5 gpm x 10s + 2 gpm x Cc
Cc = 1725 s
