Options- A. 1.54 ft2
- B. 3.08 ft2
- C. 65 ft2
- D. 65 lbs/ ft2.hr
- Correct Answer
- 1.54 ft2
- 1. Assuming the laminar flow across the filter, the rate of filtration (dVf/dt) can be expressed as a function of pressure drop Dp by the modified D'Arcy's equation as (where A is the area of filtering surface, K is the D'Arcy's filter cake permeability and L is the thickness of the filter cake)
