3. The basic filtration equation is given as where, V is volume of the filtrate ; A is the filtration area, a is specific cake resistance, ? is viscosity of the filtrate, and C is the concentration of the solids in the feed slurry. In a 20 minutes constant rate filtration, 5 m3 of filtrate was obtained. If this is followed by a constant pressure filtration, how much more time in minutes, it will take for another 5 m3 of filtrate to be produced? Neglect filter medium resistance, Rm ; assume incompressible cake.
7. The capacity of a classifier in 'tons of solid/hr' is given by (where, A = cross-sectional area, m2 V = rising velocity of fluid, m/sec.S = percentage of solids in the suspension by volume.? = density of solids, kg/m3)
