You are to design a microfiltration system for the community of Lastnight. The design flow rate is 0.960 m^3/s. The temperature of the water is constant throughout the year at 10. The membrane you have chosen has a maximum TMP of 230 kPa and a resistance coefficient of 3.5 x 10^12 m-1. Based on pilot testing, the operating TMP should be not greater than 75% of the maximum TMP.
a. Determine the required membrane area.
