Question:
You are given the task to filter the water of METU before it enters into the internal pipelines. You decided to use the same set-up that Darcy has used for Dijon except your system is horizontal. Another difference is that you need to use two different layers made up of two different materials. You have made measurements with both type of material and obtained the following results in a separate horizontal experimental setup. The diameters of the materials during the test are 5.2 cm, and their lengths are 12 cm. During the test you have used the same water source which has a density of 1.04 g/cm3 and a viscosity of 1.1 cP. You have measured a flow rate of 18 cm3/sec for Material 1 and 25 cm3/sec for Material 2 when you applied a pressure difference of 4 atm.
METU uses H tons of water per hour and the pressure difference between the inlet of the filter and outlet of the filter is 41 atm. The area of the filter system is 30000 cm2 and its total length is 95 cm.
What are the permeability values of each material? What should be the thickness of Material 1 and Material 2?
