Pemodelan Crossflow Mikroprofiltrasi Larutan Xantan Berdasarkan Analisis Dimensional

Abstract

The present paper provides a model based on dimensional analvsis that gIves the basis for design of crossflow microjiltration processes, This gives the permeate flux (J,j in terms oj' pressure drop across the filtration membrane dP and the velocity v ofcrossflow of the feedfluid in the membrane tubes. The model is compared with experimental results ofxanthan solution. The model has certain similarities with previous ones and can be used for unit optimization.
