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
