Based on the idea of adjusting fluid velocity for varying terminal velocities of
classification. A particle with a higher terminal velocity falls while others remain
The farthest stream is where the particle with the lowest terminal velocity
WET CLASSIFICATION- uses air as fluid medium, Particles which are easy
to drag using are carried out while those which are not settle
DRY CLASSIFICATION- uses water, used in higher process rates at very fine
gravities

terminal velocity of the particles due to the varying densities. A particle with
certain terminal velocity can only settle by adjusting the inlet water (Geankoplis,
1993)
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
As shown in table 6-1, beads with the higher density obtains a higher
Table 6-2 shows that there is a relatively big difference between the upflowing
water velocity and the terminal velocity of the desired material in the cone. Statistical analysis
Tables 6-3 and 6-4 shows that not all of the fed particles are recovered in the screens. The loss
is most probably due to shattering of the beads and pellets or loss during the sorting process
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
• Results concluded that the recovery in the first and second setups were more efficient and
useful as compared to the third and fourth setup. It can also be noted that higher loading time
would give a higher percent recovery.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For future experimental runs, it is recommended that the void volume within each
particle is measured, to more accurately determine the actual density of the particles used.
The measurement of the void volume beforehand helps account for the measured
discrepancy between the actual and theoretical terminal velocities. Ideally however, a new
set of pellets without any void spaces present should be used. As Doing so would increase
the ease of the experimental procedure since it removes the need for measurement of the
void spaces within the particles in the first place.
Maintain steady state conditions during every run, by monitoring the level of the
water inside the tank
Also, more trials is recommended for better comparison.
