Example: Calculate the settling velocity of a 60 wt
% glass spheres slurry in a fluid with density = 1000
kg/m3 & viscosity = 0.001 Pa.s. The glass spheres
have diameter = 75 m & density = 2450 kg/m3.
Solution (using Rhodes):
The slurry concentration of 60% is >>> 1 wt%,
hence this is a hindered settling.
The slurry is 60 wt% solid & 40 wt% fluid, hence:
The void fraction (or porosity), = [40 kg/1000
kg/m3]/[60 kg/2450 kg/m3 + 40 kg/1000 kg/m3] =
0.620253
Settling velocity (if free settling) = terminal
velocity, UT
Assume laminar (Rep < 0.3):
UT = (75/10^6)2(2450-1000)9.81/[(18)(0.001)] =
hindered settling velocity, Uo = Ut n
Evaluating the exponent n using the correlation with
Archimedes number:
Ar = x3 (p - )g /( 2) = (75/10^6)^3(2450-
1000)9.81/(0.001^2)

n = (4.8 + 0.1032Ar0.57)/(1+0.043Ar0.57)
= (4.8 + 0.1043(6^0.57)/[1+0.043(6^0.57) =
4.544
U0 = 0.004445(0.62^4.544) = 0.0005074 m/s
