Resistance of total cake

Resistance of ini al layer of cake
Both A and B
None of the above

v, ao and Rm should be computed

6) A plate and frame filter having 1.2 m2 surface area is operated at 2 bar (gauge) and 10 points
forms incompressible cake. Feed consists of 8% solid (specific gravity = 2.3). Viscosity of liquid as
0.003 kg/m s. Compute the washing time required to wash the cake formed at the end of 100
minutes of filtering at the same pressure using 4m3 of wash water. The operating data are
Time (min) 13 25 40 60 75 90
Filtrate volume (m3) 4.5 7.2 9.8 12.4 14.1 15.6

57.45 min
78.12 min
44.74 min
65.24 min
7) For Q.No. 6 find the filter media resistance constant 5 points

33.19 x 108 m-1

13.08 x 108 m-1
24.12 x 108 m-1
48.76 x 108 m-1
8) In a filtration equipment, filtration is carried out at a constant rate with the feed pump 5 points
at full capacity. The constant rate operation requires 850 s. Compute the filtration
cycle with the existing pump for a maximum daily capacity, if the time for removing the cake and
reassembling the press is 1100 s. The cake is not washed.

3050 s
4250 s
5350 s
2030 s
9) During continuous filtration if 25% area of the drum is in contact with slurry, then 2 points
value of ‘f’ should be

0.25
25
0.75
75
10)In plate and frame filter press, filtration occurs at 1 point

Both side of plate

Both side of frame
Both A and B
None of the above
11)Knife is used in 1 point

Press and frame filters

Leaf filters
Disc filters
None of the above
12)Thin cake is formed in 1 point

Drum filters
Plate and frame filters
Leaf filters
None of the above
