A centrifugal filtration unit operating at a rotational speed of w has inner surface of the liquid (density ρL) located at a radial distance R from the axis of rotation. The thickness of the liquid film is δ and no cake is formed. The initial pressure drop during filtration is ________?
A1⁄2w2. R. ρL(R + 2δ)
B1⁄2w2. δ2. ρL
C1⁄2w2. R2. ρL
D1⁄2w2. δρL (2R + δ)
Correct answer
D. 1⁄2w2. δρL (2R + δ)
Explanation
The correct answer is 1⁄2w2. δρL (2R + δ).
