New measurements of the pressure drop and filter efficiency when slip at the fiber surface becomes significant are presented. With slip the filter efficiency increases and pressure drop decreases. These data are adequately predicted by a model extending the theory of Stechkina and Fuchs (1966) and Friedlander (1958, 1967) to the slip regime. The model, however, fails to predict certain data of other authors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
