Q6: A slurry is filtered with a laboratory leaf filter with a filtering surface area of 0.049m2 to determine the specific cake and cloth resistance using a vacuum giving a pressure difference of 0.67 bar. The volume of filtrated collected in the first 5min was 230cm3 and, after a further 5 min, an additional 200cm3 was collected. The filtrate viscosity is 103Pa.s, the slurry contains 5 vol\% of solids with a density of 2900kgm3. Calculate the specific cake resistance and the cloth resistance Rm
