Information Flow Diagram
Legends:
(-P) = pressure drop (N/m2)
t = time (s)
V = filtrate volume (m3)
H2O = viscosity of water (Pa-s)
Rm = filter medium resistance (m-1)
= specific cake resistance (m/kg)
T = temperature (oC)
A = filter area (m2)
Cs = slurry concentration (kg solids/m3)
ms = weight of slurry = 1g (basis of density calculations)
s = slurry density (kg/m3)
H2O = water density (kg/m3)
CaCO3 = calcium carbonate density (kg/m3)
Ws = weight of solids
Vs = volume of slurry to be prepared = 20L
mf = mass of filtrate (kg)
f = density of filtrate (kg/m3)
