Question: A cylindrical bed ( diameter 3 8 m m and length 1 6 m m ) contains sand ) is used as a final filtration

A cylindrical bed (diameter 38mm and length 16mm) contains sand ) is used as a final filtration step for removing impurities from a stream of molten polyester prior to spinning that polymer into filaments. The polymer is approximately a Newtonian fluid and, at processing conditions, has a viscosity of 600Pasec and a density of 1300kgm3. Estimate the pressure drop over this bed for a flow of 0.18kghr through it. You can assume the bed porosity is 0.38.
