DESCRIPTION
The fifth lecture in the module Particle Technology, delivered to second year students who have already studied basic fluid mechanics. Filtration covers the modification of Darcys law to predictive filtration design equations as well as ones used for test data analysis. Examples of industrial equipment for filtration are included.TRANSCRIPT
