What does the following equation represents?
B1 V2 + B2 V
a) Pressure drop
b) Time taken for filtration
c) Weight of cake
d) Radius of press
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The time of assembling and dissembling the press is independent of thickness of cake produced, the total time of a cycle in which a volume V is collected.
4 - Question
If the resistance is neglected, then ________
a) t = B1 V2
b) t = B2 V
c) t = V2
d) t = B1 + B2
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: If the resistance of the filter is neglected, then t = B1 V2 and the time during which filtration is carried out is exactly equal to press out of service.
