With increase in the pressure drop across the cake, the specific cake resistance for the compressible sludge________________?
Correct answer: C. Increases
- A. Remains constant
- B. Decreases
- C. Increases
- D. Increases linearly
Explanation
A compressible cake compacts as pressure drop rises, reducing its void spaces and making fluid flow more difficult. Therefore, the specific cake resistance increases rather than remaining constant, as it would for an incompressible cake.
