Abstract

Both numerical and experimental studies on sedimentation efficiency of a sedimentation bed were carried out. Three different structures of sedimentation bed and five different combinations of blockage ratio of center feed wall and angle of distributor are implemented to find the optimal values of geometric parameters. The effect of rotation of the distributor on sedimentation efficiency is also investigated. It reveals that the effect of blockage ratio and angle of distributor on sedimentation efficiency is considerable, while rotation effect can be neglected, and that calculated efficiencies show good agreements with those of experiment, qualitatively.
