An experimental approach to the study Of the sedimentation of dispersed particles In a centrifugal field

摘要

On the basis of an especially developed centrifuge, a PC-controlled separation Analyser has been assembled for the continuous registration of particles' sedimentation process In a fluid, caused by centrifugal acceleration. The system enables the parallel investigation of up To eight samples. During the centrifugation, the radial and temporal variation of light trans- Mission through the samples is registered by means of a COD line detector. Experiments were Carried out with the separation analyser on manipulated rigid and sphered red blood cells for The verification of an established one-dimensional mixture fluid model.
