What is the total filtering area required to deliver 30 ft3


Filtration tests with a given slurry have indicated that the specific cake resistance (Y is 157 h2/lb. The fluid viscosity is 2.5 lb/(h)(ft), and 3 lb of dry cake is formed per cubic foot of filtrate. The cake may be assumed to be non-compressible, and the resistance of the filter medium may be neglected. If the unit is operated at a constant pressure drop of 5 psi, what is the total filtering area required to deliver 30 ft3 of filtrate in 1/2 h?
