Aims
On completion of this TLP you should:
- Understand the factors that control the dynamics of solid particles in fluids
- Be familiar with the main method for measurement of particle size distribution
- Be able to make simple calculations relating to the flow of fluids through permeable media, such as filters
- Understand how powders are commonly handled and processed to make solid artefacts or surface coatings
