TLDR
In this article, the rate of sedimentation of precipitated calcium carbonate in water was measured as a function of the solid concentration and the shape and angle of inclination of the container.
Abstract
The rate of sedimentation of precipitated calcium carbonate in water was measured as a function of the solid concentration and the shape and angle of inclination of the container It was found that an experimentally determined coefficient had to be included in the settling equation proposed by Nakamura to make it fit the data Le taux de sedimentation dans l'eau du carbonate de calcium precipite est mesure en fonction de la concentration de solide, de la forme et inclinaison du contenant Un coefficient empirique doit ětre inclus dans la relation de sedimentation, proposee par Nakamura, pour ětre en accord avec les resultats obtenus

Enhanced sedimentation in settling tanks with inclined walls

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for describing quantitatively the sedimentation of small particles in vessels having walls that are inclined to the vertical is developed for the case where the flow is laminar and the particle Reynolds number is small.

Centrifugal separation of a mixture

TL;DR: A survey about recent developments in the understanding of the separation of a mixture in a rotating vessel can be found in this article, where the results and the physical insight gained can be applied to many industrial problems like continuous separation and filtration in centrifuges.

Experiments on sedimentation beneath downward-facing inclined walls

TL;DR: In the case of small values of Re 4 / Gr, strong waves beneath the downward-facing wall were observed and graphically evaluated in order to find a basis for further theoretical approach.

The inclined settling of dispersed suspensions of spherical particles in square‐section tubes

TL;DR: It has been known since 1920 that a tube containing a suspension increases the settling rate as discussed by the authors, and the theory of Nakamura and Kuroda is shown to predict both an experimental and theoretical upper limit to this improvement.

Settling behaviour of heavy and buoyant particles from a suspension in an inclined channel

TL;DR: In this article, the Ponder-Nakamura-Kuroda (PNK) model has been used to predict the settling characteristics of bidisperse suspensions containing light and heavy particles in inclined channels.

Sedimentation of Blood Corpuscles

TL;DR: I HAVE noticed lately that if oxalated or defibrinated Wood is put to stand in narrow tubes, the corpuscles sediment a good deal faster if the tube is inclined than when it is vertical.
