Abstract

New experimental results on the hindered settling of model glass bead suspensions in non-Newtonian suspending media are reported. The data presented encompass the following ranges of variables: 7.38 × 10-4 ≤ Re1∞ ≤ 2; 0.0083 ≤ d/D ≤ 0.0703; 0.13 ≤ C ≤ 0.43 and 1 ≥ n ≥ 0.8. In these ranges of conditions, the dependence of the hindered settling velocity on concentration is adequately represented by the corresponding Newtonian expressions available in the literature. The influence of the power law flow behaviour index is completely embodied in the modified definition of the Reynolds number used for power law liquids.
