Abstract
There is provided an evaluation method for permeability of a porous membrane that separates a first flow channel and a second flow channel, the evaluation method including supplying a pressure to a liquid inside the first flow channel and acquiring a change that occurs in a liquid accommodated in the second flow channel as an evaluation indicator of permeability of the porous membrane.
Claims6
An evaluation method for permeability of a porous membrane that is inserted between a first flow channel and a second flow channel, the evaluation method comprising:
- acquiring a change that occurs inside a liquid accommodated in the second flow channel as an evaluation indicator of permeability of the porous membrane in a case of supplying a liquid to the first flow channel while changing a supply pressure.
An evaluation method for permeability of a porous membrane that separates a first flow channel and a second flow channel, the evaluation method comprising:
- supplying a pressure to a liquid inside the first flow channel and acquiring a change that occurs in a liquid accommodated in the second flow channel as an evaluation indicator of permeability of the porous membrane,
- wherein a phosphor is contained in the liquid that is supplied to the first flow channel, and
- a chronological change in an amount of light radiated from the phosphor contained in the liquid that flows through the second flow channel is acquired as the evaluation indicator.
An evaluation method for permeability of a porous membrane that separates a first flow channel and a second flow channel, the evaluation method comprising:
- supplying a pressure to a liquid inside the first flow channel and acquiring a change that occurs in a liquid accommodated in the second flow channel as an evaluation indicator of permeability of the porous membrane,
- wherein a specific component is contained in the liquid that is supplied to the first flow channel, and
