An ultrafiltration membrane has a pure water flux of 210 l/m²h at 3 bars. When an oil-water emulsion is concentrated at 4.5 bars the flux reduces to 35 due to a build-up of a cake layer. The specific resistance of this cake is a=1.5* 10¹8 m². Calculate the thickness of the cake. The viscosity is similar to that of water.
