Calculation of the Process of Slurry Separation in the Rotor of a Continuous Sedimentation Centrifuge

Resumo

The process of deposition of the solid phase of a suspension in the rotor of a continuous sedimentation centrifuge with a rigid wall and periodic discharge of the sediment was investigated based on the provisions of the hydrodynamics of slow movements. Results of quantitative analysis of the process of centrifugal separation of the suspension show that the calculation method of the efficiency of this process should be improved taking into account the layered structure of the flow based on the first model.
