Q5) A filter press contains 20 frames, each of 0.6m by 0.6m inside dimensions. The frames are 0.025m thick. The volume of wash water used is 10% of the filtrate per cycle. The time required for filtering at constant pressure is 2 hours by which time the frames are full with cake. Washing is done at the same pressure as filtering and the viscosity of wash water is nearly the same as that of filtrate. What is the time required for washing? There is 0.05m3 of final cake per m3 of filtrate. Neglect the filter medium resistance.
