Abstract
This study was undertaken to investigate a settling system having no chemical interactions between the liquid and solid in an effort to establish a base for analysis of the more complex coal—oil systems that have great potential to be used as a fuel in boilers. Glass spheres and crushed glass particles in a model oil having similar properties to No. 6 fuel oil were employed. Particle size and shape, concentrations of solids, temperature and initial mixture heights were studied by use of Smiles integral analysis for settling. A pseudo-diffusion coefficient was determined which predicted the settling behavior over the entire settling time.
