THE stability of an aqueous suspension is reflected in both sedimentation-rate and sedimentation-volume 1,2. In a stable system, settling of the single particles is slow, but they remain free to move ...

Many products are dispersions or suspensions of particles in a liquid medium. Examples range from ceramics, adhesives, inks and paints through to drinks, foods, medicines and personal care products.

IN the course of a more extensive calculation, a set of equations has been obtained which relates the the sedimentation velocity u of particles falling through a liquid to the effective viscosity μ of ...
