TY - JOUR Y1 - 2010/// A1 - Lavacchi, Alessandro A1 - Bardi, Ugo A1 - Borri, Claudia A1 - Orfei, M. A1 - Tolstogouzov, Alexander IS - 8-9 N2 - We report the calculation of the efficiency for particle separation processes occurring in suspension under transverse force field in a circular duct. 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.
