Further work on cake filtration analysis

In addition to investigating the effect of the ps-pl relationship, comparisons of predicted filtration performance with experiments made it possible to substantiate earlier findings that the ps-pl relationship is system specific. The results of the analysis were also used to test the parameter sensitivity of predictions, namely, values of the parameters of the constitutive relationships (i.e. ɛs vs. ps and α vs. ps, where ɛs and α are the cake solidosity and specific cake resistance). This information, in turn, can be used as a bench mark for improving existing and developing new procedures for determining cake solidosity and permeability.
