While the addition of sodium carboxymethyl‐cellulose brings about a reduction of the overall liquid side mass transport coefficient which is in line with the predictions by earlier works, the reduction of k L a in polyacrylamide solutions of equal viscosity is much stronger. This is explained by the viscoelasticity of the PAA solutions, and an empirical correlation is proposed.Read More
