Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

It is pointed out that the existing equations for the rate of sedimentation of an aggregate of particles from a flow give values that are lower than the experimentally measured values. A new equation is derived theoretically for the rate of sedimentation of an aggregate of drops. The results are in good agreement with experiment.
