Granular filtration is a technique used extensively in the water and sewage industries, and we would all be quickly aware if it did not work properly. Designing and building an effective granular filter is a science and an art: this book covers both aspects. The theoretical basis of design is given considerable exposure, as are the behavioural characteristics of particles and fluids. This new edition contains extra material on stochastic simulations and the Lattice Bolzmann approach for studying deposition in granular media; more on prediction methods for collection efficiency, and a chapter on the various available software programmes.

Seller's Description:
Fine- Not Issued with a Dust Jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. The first printing, 365 pages. "This book represents a unified approach to the fundamental aspects of granular filteration of both liquid and gas suspensions. This book demonstrated that by applying basic engineering principles, granular filtration of aerosols and hydrosols can be treated in a fundamental way and from a unifying basis. Areas such as trajectory calculations, diffusion, filter clogging, dendrite formation, fluidized-bed filtration, and electrostatics are included into the framework. In addition, the book offers a compilation of recent research results in granular filtration." FINE-HARDCOVER.
