A typical batch filtration cycle consists of filtration followed by washing. One such filtration unit operating at constant pressure difference first filters a slurry during which 5 liters of filtrate is collected in 100 s. This is followed by washing, which is done for tw seconds and uses 1 liter of wash water. Assume the following relation to be applicable between the applied pressure drop ΔP, cake thickness L at time t, and volume of liquid V collected in time t: ΔP/L = k1 dV/dt ; L = k2 V, if L is changing. k1 and k2 can be taken to be constant during filtration and washing. The wash time tw, in seconds (up to one decimal place), is _______.
Correct : 40.0
