Question:

The data in Table 29.6 were taken in a constant-pressure filtration of a slurry of CaCO3 in H2O. The filter was a 6-in. filter press with an area of 1.0 ft2. The mass fraction of solids in the feed to the press was 0.139. Calculate the values of α, Rm, and cake thickness for each of the experiments. The temperature is 70°F.
