8
Problem 8. Given: Rotary vacuum filter % submerged = 35% N = 0.5 rpm Capacity = 0.61 ft3/min-m2 Production rate = 20.4 m3/hr Required: Area of filter cloth Solution:
Asubmerged = 20.4 1 / 60 = 0.557 m 2 0.61

Total Area =

0.557 = 1.5925 m 2 0.35

Problem 9. Given: Refer to Prob. 8 Drum diameter = 1.0 m Required: Width of Drum Solution:

A = DL
D= 1.5925 = 0.5069 m (1)

Problem 12. Given: Plate and Frame No. of frames = 24 Thickness = 1 inch Inside dimension = 2 ft x 2 ft f = 2 hrs Vw = 0.1 Vf Cake volume = 0.05 ft3/ft3 filtrate c = 30 min Required: y, capacity of press Solution: Vol of cake = 24 x 2 x = 8 ft3
Vf = 8 = 160 ft 3 8.05

w = 0.8 f = 0.8(0.2) = 1.6 hr

y= Vf =

160 = 936 ft 3 /cycle 2 + 1.6 + 0.5

Problem 20. Given: Standard Leaf filter Vf = 20 cu ft f = 2 hr w = 30 min drain = 20 min fill = 25 min c = 35 min Required: Capacity in cu ft/hr Solution:

T = f + drain + fill + w + drain + c + fill

T = 120 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 20 + 35 + 25 = 275min

y=

20 60 = 4.36 ft 3 / hr 275

Problem 24. Given: Rotary vacuum filter Increase in submerged area = 20% N and P the same Required: change in capacity Solution:
y= V
f

k' F F N

but

2 k = k ' A 2 = k ' FAT

thus, y =

= k ' FN

with k and N constant,

y2 = y1

F2 = 1.2 F1

y 2 = 1.095 y1
