CLL331 : Fluid-particle Mechanics
[edit]Introduction to industries dealing with the particles (solid, liquid, gas, soft-materials: colloids, polymer), solid particles: particle size, shape and their distribution, relationship among shape factors and particle dimensions, specific surface area, measurement of surface area and particle size distribution, drag coefficient, packed bed, fluidization. Sedimentation: settling, hindered settling, design of settling tank, filtration, centrifugal separation, cyclone separator, mixing (solid-solid, solid-liquid and liquid-liquid), segregation. Size reduction, size enlargement, flow properties of slurries, behaviour of colloidal particles in dispersed condition.
