摘要
In this work, a series of first-principle analytical expressions are derived to predict the instantaneous pressure drop and collection efficiency of pleated filters under dust loading condition. Both the depth and surface filtration regimes are formulated for filters with triangular and rectangular pleats. The analytical expressions derived in this paper can be used in the early stages of designing a pleated filter to circumvent the need for conducting CPU-intensive numerical calculations. The predictions of our analytical expressions are compared with those reported in previous studies and good agreement is observed. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
