+One-dimensional membrane class for CO2 gas separation
+=============================================
+
+This is a one-dimensional model for gas separation in CO₂ capture applications.
+The model will be discretized in the flow direction, and it supports two flow patterns:
+counter-current flow and co-current flow. The model was customized for gas-phase separation
+in CO₂ capture with a single-layer design. If a multi-layer design is needed, multiple units
+can be connected for this application. The two sides of the membrane are called the feed side
+and sweep side. The sweep stream inlet is optional. The driving force across the membrane is the
+partial pressure difference in this gas separation application. Additionally, the energy balance
+assumes that temperature remains constant on each side of the membrane.
