Abstract
When the crossflow specific cake resistance is determined from measure ments of the steady state cake mass and filtrate flux, an apparent val ue is obtained which is equal to the true value only if membrane fouli ng is negligible; The apparent specific resistance can increase with i ncreasing crossflow velocity and pure-water membrane resistance, and e xhibit a minimum with respect to transmembrane pressure.
