| Popis: | Experimental results were obtained on the steady settling of spheres in quiescent media in a range of cylindrical tubes to ascertain the wall effects over a relatively wide range of Reynolds number values. For practical considerations, the retardation effect is important when the ratio of the particle diameter to the tube diameter (lambda) is higher than about 0.05. A new empirical correlation is presented which covers a Reynolds number range Re = 53-15,100 and a particle to tube diameter ratio lambda LT 0.88. The absolute mean deviation between the experimental data and the presented correlation was 1.9%. The well-known correlations of Newton, Munroe and Di Felice agree with the presented data reasonably well. For steady settling of spheres in a counter-current water flow, the slip velocity remains practically the same as in quiescent media. However, for rising spheres in a co-current water flow, the slip velocity decreases with increasing co-current water velocity, i.e., the wall factor decreases with increasing co-current water velocity. Consequently, the drag coefficient for rising particles in co-current water flow increases with increasing water velocity. |
