Segregation of bi-disperse suspension in a partially filled cylinder


Segregation of two types of particles in a 47.8% aqueous glycerin solution. The filling level of the liquid is 0.354. The black is a silicon particle with density 3.07g/cc, average diameter 0.05 cm, and its concentration is 21.7%. The brown is a resin particle with density 1.13 g/cc, average diameter 0.065 cm, and its concentration is 12%. The rotational speed is 165 rpm.
