In case of a plate and frame filter press, filtrate flow through the cake follows _______________ flow?

Correct answer: C. Laminar

  • A. Plug
  • B. Turbulent
  • C. Laminar
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Flow through the porous filter cake is described by Darcy’s law, which treats the cake as a porous medium with essentially laminar flow. Turbulent flow would require much higher velocities and is not the normal filtration regime.
