Figure 3
Using the same method as part A, we can calculate the time taken to wash the resulted cake
with 500 liters of water. The equation for the resulted linear relationship is,
y = 0.0018x + 341.66
The time taken to wash the resulted cake with 500 liters of water is 3104 seconds.

Calculations
From this we are able to calculate the volume fractions.
At feed:
At under flow:
Using the values calculated above and table 3.1, a curve of interface height against time is
constructed. Using the tangential lines gradient could be obtained. This gradient is equal to
the velocity of the flow (cm/min).
.
