Question:

A slurry is being filtered in a plate-and-frame filter press at a constant pressure drop of 10 psi under conditions where the resistance of the medium is negligible. The fluid viscosity is 2.0 lb/hr-ft; 5 lb of dry cake are collected for every ft3 of filtrate; and the cake is incompressible, with a specific cake resistance, α, of 8.34x 1010 ft/lbm. What filter area is required to process 50 ft3 in one hour?
