INPUT MATHTYPE Equation for 8.1 .(Schulz et. al 161)
From Walter J. Weber, Jr., we learned the following useful information with regards to filtration.
• INPUT MATHTYPE Equation 4-48 Pressure drop across Fluidized bed,
As the rate of backwash flow is increased, there is a linear increase in pressure drop to the point where some movement or reorientation of the granules takes places. At a slighter higher rate, the bed becomes fluidized and the pressure drop remains constant.
• INPUT MATHTYPE Equation 4-49 Minimal Fluidization Velocity (Weber 172)
• INPUT MATHTYPE Equation 4-50 to 4-53. Fluidization Velocity to achieve different degrees of expansion.(Weber 173)
Rest of Semester Plan
As stated above, the rest of the semester will be devoted to using the clear well technology applied to stacked filtration or other filter designs.
