In biology, osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through the membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential.
Physical Chemistry, Cell Biology. the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. the diffusion of fluids through membranes or...

This is the definition of osmosis, particularly as applied to chemistry and biology, and an explanation of how it works.
Two important mass transport processes in chemistry and biology arediffusion and osmosis. Osmosis Definition Osmosisis the process wheresolventmoleculesmove through a semipermeable membrane from adilutesolution into a more concentratedsolution(which becomes more dilute). In most cases, the solvent is water...

Here we evaluate the flux by referring to the area of pores and the values should be divided by a factor of porosity for comparison with the conventional definition using the area of membranes. The water fluxes across these two types of membranes converge at large pore size above 4 nm2,...

[154]. Karavas et al. experimentally investigated a PV-driven SWRO system based on aDC microgrid[155]. The system employs hydraulic energy recovery and short-termelectric energy storageusing hybrid capacitors. They found that energy storage increased water productivity and also allowed continuous ...
