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. date: 2010 date_type: published publication: Heat and Mass Transfer volume: 46 number: 8-9 publisher: Springer pagerange: 803-807 id_number: 10.1007/s00231-010-0629-z refereed: TRUE issn: 0947-7411 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00231-010-0629-z citation: 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.
