The inlet pressure in a constant rate filtration____________________?

Correct answer: A. Increases continuously

  • A. Increases continuously
  • B. Decreases gradually
  • C. Remains constant
  • D. None of these

Explanation

At a constant filtration rate, the cake becomes thicker and offers increasing resistance to flow, so the pressure difference and inlet pressure must rise continuously. A decreasing pressure is associated with constant-pressure filtration, not constant-rate filtration.
