EFFECT OF STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS OF A CYLINDRICAL-CONICAL HYDROCYCLONE ON THE SEPARATION INDEX OF SUSPENSIONS WITH A NON-NEWTONIAN DISPERSION MEDIUM

摘要

A mathematical model that accounts for the effect of the Coriolis force on solid-phase particles is developed. The system of differential equations in partial derivatives, which describes the separation process, is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations and is solved by a numerical method. It is established that an increase in the non-Newtonian properties of a dispersion medium will lead to an increase in the degree of thickening.
