Abstract
Abstract Steinour and Richardson and Zaki proposed relationships to explain the hindered settling phenomena from their independent experiments about 10 years apart. An attempt has been made to compare the coefficients and derive a relationship between Steinour's parameter A and Richardson and Zaki's parameter n. It is possible to express this relationship in the form of an equation involving parameters for which values can be assigned. Theoretically, this derived relationship should be applicable to any sedimenting suspension which obeys both Steinour's and Richardson and Zaki's equations. This derived expression has been evaluated for various experimentally determined values of A and n. The experimental systems which have been tested include calcium carbonate suspensions in water, sucrose-water, and glycerin-water solutions, and ethyl alcohol and magnesium hydroxide suspensions in glycerin-water, sucrose-water and sorbitol-water solutions. The calculated values have been shown to agree well with experime...
