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
