What is meant by silt density index?
Silt Density Index (SDI) is an empirical test developed for measuring the rate of fouling of nano filtration (NF) or RO membranes. It represents the potential for fouling of the membranes by finely suspended particles present in feed water to the membranes.
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
What is the normal adult glomerular filtration rate?
Glomerular filtration rate is the rate at which fluid is filtered by the kidneys. The normal rate for humans is 125mL/min or 180L/day. The fluid that is filtered (and not reabsorbed later) is excreted as urine.
What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
What Polysaccharide substance is used to determine Glomerular Filtration Rate?
Yes
Which MWCO membrane had the greatest filtration rate?
200 MWCO
How can you increase the filtration rate through living membranes?
i have no clue

How does pressure affect filtration?
Pressure will increase the filtration rate all other things being equal.
How would you increase filtration rate in living membranes?
Increase the pressure (vessel constriction) or increase the size of gaps (pores) in the membrane, or both.
What was the average diffusion rate of urea when the 200 MWCO membrane was used as a barrier?
Once diffusion occurs it does not matter the MWCO of the membrane, but it depends on difference of concentration, as it is said in Fick's first law.

What process assures that minor changes in blood pressure do not affect the kidneys filtration rate?
Autoregulation. You're welcome :)
How do you increase filtration rate under constant pressure?
increase the area of filtration
What is the filtration rate controlled by?
The kidneys.
What would happen to the filtration rate if you apply pressure to the filtration system?
It would increase
What would happen to the filtration rate if you were to apply pressure to the filtration system?
It would increase.
