Solid Fluid Operations
Syllabus: Flow around a sphere: Stokes law, standard drag curve; laminar and turbulent flow; skin friction and form drag; terminal settling velocities; wall effects, Non-spherical particles: terminal falling velocities and drag, Unsteady motion of particles: solution of equations in specific cases, e.g. vertical acceleration under gravity, Sedimentation: free and hindered settling; the thickening process, Particle characterisation: size distributions; data presentation; averages and weighted distributions; shape, Methods for size measurement, Interparticle forces: van der Waals' forces; liquid bridges; electrostatic forces; impact and rebound, Conveying: hydraulic
