The calculation has been performed for a laminar fluid flow directed toward the duct vertical axis. The force field acting on the suspended particles only, is orthogonal to the duct. In the dimensionless calculations occurs a dimensionless group, Ca, which provides a tool for the dimensioning of the purification section. publisher: Springer date: 2010 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/2171/1/Separation%20of%20particles.pdf identifier: Lavacchi, Alessandro and Bardi, Ugo and Borri, Claudia and Orfei, M. and Tolstogouzov, Alexander Separation of particles from suspensions using transverse force field: a mass transport analysis.
