1) Porous Membrane and Pressure differentials Water at 70°C is passed through a polyethylene membrane of 25% porosity having an average pore diameter of 0.30 µm and tortuosity of 1.8. The pressure upstream is 500 kPa and downstream 125 kPa. Assume a 1.0 micron thick membrane. Estimate the flux of water in m³/m² day.
