For laminar flow of filtrate through the cake deposited on septum, which of the following will be valid ?

Correct answer: A. Kozeny-Carman equation

  • A. Kozeny-Carman equation
  • B. Leva's equation
  • C. Blake-Plummer equation
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Flow through a deposited filter cake is treated as laminar flow through a porous medium, for which the Kozeny-Carman equation relates pressure drop to cake properties and filtrate velocity. Leva's equation is associated mainly with fluidization and related operations.
