The effect of shear rate on the separation performance of reverse osmosis hollow fiber membrane is discussed. Experiments involving six different dope extrusion rates (DERs) (ranging 2.5–5 ml/min) are performed with the other process factors set at the optimum conditions determined by the Taguchi...
