A water slurry containing coal particles (SG ¼ 1:35) is pumped into the bottom of a large tank (10 ft diameter, 6 ft high), at a rate of 500 gal/hr, and overflows the top. What is the largest coal particle that will be carried out in the overflow? If the flow rate is increased to 5000 gal/hr, what size particles would you expect in the overflow? The slurry properties can be taken to be the same as for water.
