OLI is asked frequently how is the osmotic pressure calculated in the software. We use a very traditional method of callculating the osmotic pressure.


The equation for osmotic pressure.


Where

π is the osmotic pressure

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature

aH2O is the activity of water at temperature T

VH2O is the partial molal volume of water at temperature T
