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.
