A centrifugal filtration unit operating at a rotational speed of w has inner surface of the liquid (density ρL) located at a radial distance R from the axis of rotation. The thickness of the liquid film is δ and no cake is formed. The initial pressure drop during filtration is ___________________?
A ½w2 . R2 . ρL
B ½w2 . δ2 . ρL
C ½w2 . δρL (2R + δ)
D ½w2 . R . ρL(R + 2δ)
Correct Answer: ½w2 . δρL (2R + δ)
The basic filtration equation is given as dt/dV = (μ/A ΔP). [(α .CV/A) + Rm], where, V is volume of the filtrate; A is the filtration area, a is specific cake resistance, μ 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 ?
A 10
B 20
C 25
D 30
Correct Answer: 20
