Description

Given the flow to be filtered $Q$ , the number of filters $n$ , the superficial area $(A = a \cdot b)$ of each filter and the washing velocity $U_a$ , calculates the minimum reccomended areas for inlets and outlets to the filters.

Filter

Observation

The washing velocity must be between 0.60 and 0.95 m/min.
