Question
A batch test on the sedimentation of slurry containing 200kg/m (C.) is carried out
experimentally where the initial height of sediment zone is 900mm (h,). The
following data are assumed as follows:
Underflow concentration= 1200kg/m
Feed flow rate-3m/min
The relation between setting velocity (u.) and height of sediment zone (h.) can be
represented by the following equation:
u(mm/min)-0.0178 h- 3.22
Where the h have taken the values: 700,300,260,200 and 180 mm.
Graphically, find the critical rate of sedimentation then the cross section area of tank.
