Particle technology : dilute particle systems

This is a video of the second lecture in the module Particle Technology, delivered to second year students who have already studied basic fluid mechanics. Dilute particle systems is mainly about sedimentation of single particles and dilute suspensions. The Particle Reynolds number determines the degree of turbulence in the fluid and techniques are provided for settling in laminar and turbulent systems. Industrial clarification is included.\ud \ud This open educational resource was released through the Higher Education Academy Engineering Subject Centre Open Engineering Resources Pilot project.
