Chemical Engineering > GATE 2026 > Filtration
Laboratory filtration is conducted at constant pressure drop of 200 kPa on a slurry of CaCO3 in water at room temperature. The time taken to collect filtrate is shown in the table.
Filtrate volume(m3): 1×10−3, 2×10−3; Time(s): 40, 100
The filter area is 0.05 m2 and viscosity of filtrate is 10−3 Pa s. Which one of the following is the filter medium resistance (in m−1)?
A
3 × 10−11
B
3 × 10−8
C
3 × 108
D
3 × 1011

Correct : d
