Notes:
The definition of filtration resistance is re-examined in view of the new theory (12) of the variation of flow rate with respect to distance through a filter cake. In the new definition it is shown that the filtration resistance depends upon slurry concentration as well as applied pressure. A correction factor modifying the specific filtration resistance previously defined by Ruth (5, 6) is developed.Where the hydraulic pressure variation within a cake is known, methods are presented for calculating the variation of flow rate with respect to distance and the change of filtration resistance in relation to slurry concentration.
