A straight line is obtained on plotting reciprocal of filtration rate vs. the volume of filtrate for _______________ flow of filtrate?
Correct answer: B. Incompressible cake and laminar
- A. Compressible cakes and laminar
- B. Incompressible cake and laminar
- C. Compressible cake and turbulent
- D. Incompressible cake and turbulent
Explanation
For laminar filtration through an incompressible cake, resistance increases linearly with cake thickness and hence with filtrate volume, so reciprocal filtration rate plotted against volume gives a straight line.
