In an aqueous mixture of hydrocarbons or organic solvents, the top layer consists of hydrocarbons, in which droplets from the aqueous layer are deposited through the hydrocarbon. The final speed is now for given densities of liquid phases in an FDS emulsion, the creaming process is slower when the electrical charge and viscosity of a droplet are greater. In addition, the cream process increases the likelihood of collisions between droplets and accelerates the coalescence process. Particle shape and size are also important in the Stokes equation. This equation assumes spherical and monodisperse particles that may not be found in real systems. Alexander et al. introduced an equation in 1990 to take particles of different shapes, as shown below. For the lower aqueous phase: Hydrocarbon droplets are deposited from the continuous aqueous phase. The final deposition rate for hydrocarbon droplets is According to Stokes` law, the sedimentation rate of the particles is proportional to the difference in density between the solid phase and the liquid phase, inversely proportional to the viscosity of the liquid and proportional to the square of the diameter of the particles. For a heterogeneous system with a small density difference between the two phases, high viscosity and small particle size, it is more difficult to separate the particles centrifugally, and it is often necessary to extend the centrifugal deposition time to achieve better separation. Separation efficiency can be effectively improved by adding coagulants to increase drum rotation speed and reduce viscosity, and sludge particles are deposited on the drum surface as soon as possible.

The implication is that when the average size of suspended particles increases, it has a dramatic effect on the resulting sedimentation rate. Parasite sedimentation rates (estimated using Stoke`s Law for discrete particle sedimentation) vary between parasite species depending on the specific severity and dimensions of the parasite and fluid density (and temperature), suggesting that roundworm and trichuris eggs are removed more efficiently than eggs with slower sedimentation rates, such as hookworm and protozoan cysts (oo) (Table 31.2). Panicker and Krishnamoorthi (1978b) reported removal rates for roundworms and cheating of 96% and 90%, respectively, compared to removal rates of 80% for hookworm eggs during primary sedimentation. However, Stokes` law does not apply to Giardia, Entamoeba histolytica and Cryptosporidium (oo) cysts because their Reynolds number is less than 10-4, suggesting that protozoan (oo) cysts are unlikely to be effectively removed by sedimentation. Nevertheless, protozoa have been reported to have been removed during primary sedimentation in surgical work, although removal performance is poor. Distance rates between 4% and 47% were reported by Robertson et al. (2000b) for protozoa in primary sedimentation ponds with an estimated retention time of 25 hours. Cryptosporidium was removed less efficiently (mean distance of 19%) than Giardia (distance of 38%), probably due to their smaller size and slower settlement rates. If barite particles finer than 10 μm remain in the overflow, LGS particles finer than 11.7 μm also remain in the overflow; All of this is thrown away. The centrifuge can be used to separate large barite particles from smaller LGS particles, but if LGS and barite particles are similar in size, the separation efficiency is very low. where F is an external mechanical force acting on the drop.
The coefficient of friction ξ is obtained using the Hadamard-Rybczynski solution (Happel and Brenner, 1965): ρp and ρf are respectively the mass densities of the sphere and the fluid and g are the acceleration due to gravity. The requirement of the equilibrium of forces Fd = Fg and the release for velocity v gives the final velocity vs. Note that since the excess force increases with R3 and the Stokes resistance increases with R, the final velocity increases as R2 and therefore varies greatly with particle size, as shown below. If a particle experiences its own weight only when it falls into a viscous liquid, a final velocity is reached when the sum of the frictional and buoyancy forces on the particle due to the liquid precisely balances gravity. This velocity v (m/s) is given by:[7] When the particle size is reduced, the Brownian motion becomes significant. Below a critical radius, the movement is sufficient to prevent particles from sedimentation. Although the Stokes equation does not take into account many important parameters, it still provides a very good estimate based on the additional research that can be done to determine the exact sedimentation rate. Of course, it depends on the size of the ball: let`s say the radius is of dimension A L. The following formula describes the viscous stress tensor for the special case of Stokes flow. It is necessary to calculate the force acting on the particle.
