Sedimentation Flashcards
1
Q
separation of dilute slurry (solid suspended in fluid) into a clear fluid and dense slurry (higher solid content) by gravity settling.
A
Sedimentation
2
Q
three forces in the newton’s law
A
external force, drag force, and buoyant force
3
Q
four theory and equations in the sedimentation
A
- mechanism of particle motion through fluids

- terminal velocity for hindered settling
- continuous sedimentation (area of a dorr thickener)
4
Q
approximate values: U_t and C_L
data uses: Z vs θ
A
