Transcribed Image Text:In a filtration experiment, the slurry in water at 25 °C was filtered through a plate and frame filter system at a constant pressure (−ΔP) of 300 kPa. The filtration time and the obtained filtrate volume (m³) were recorded as shown in the following table:
| Time (s) | V (m³) | Time (s) | V (m³) | Time (s) | V (m³) |
|----------|------------|----------|------------|----------|------------|
| 10 | 1.05E-03 | 50 | 3.15E-03 | 90 | 4.51E-03 |
| 20 | 1.73E-03 | 60 | 3.53E-03 | 100 | 4.80E-03 |
| 30 | 2.27E-03 | 70 | 3.88E-03 | 110 | 5.08E-03 |
| 40 | 2.74E-03 | 80 | 4.21E-03 | 120 | 5.35E-03 |
The filter's total area was A = 0.05 m² and the slurry concentration was 20 kg/m³.
a) Calculate the specific cake resistance \( \alpha \);
b) Calculate the total resistance due to the filter medium \( R_m \);
c) Calculate the total resistance due to the filter cake \( R_c \) when 5 liters of filtrate was collected;
d) If we keep the filtration process going, please predict the volume of the total filtrate collected at the filtration time \( t = 3 \) min.
