ASR3032 Sedimentation Tank engineering teaching equipment Fluid Lab Didactic Equipment
Learning Objectives / Experiments
- learning the fundamental principle of separation of solids from suspensions in a sedimentation tank
- efficiency of the separation process dependent on
solid concentration of suspension
flow rate
position of baffle plate
- investigation of flow conditions dependent on
flow rate
position of baffle plate
