The flux displayed a typical asymptotic behaviour with increasing transmembrane pressure, indicative of concentration polarization. In the polarized pressure-independent region, flux was significantly affected by velocity and feed concentration; temperature had a small positive effect. The Leveque and the Grober laminar flow models underpredicted the experimental flux. The model was mofified to include a concentration-dependent diffusivity term and to account for non-Newtonian rheological behaviour at high concentrations. The correlation which best fitted the data was Sh=0¡P087(Re) 0¡P64 (Sc) 0¡P33 . ? 1987.journal article10.1016/0260-8774(87)90012-42-s2.0-0023168438https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-0023168438&doi=10.1016%2f0260-8774%2887%2990012-4&partnerID=40&md5=434d3365151690e11778c5c9635e4f19
