Model for the Suspensions Separation Process in Hydrodynamic Filters with a Rotating Filter Element

Abstract

The possibility of applying the probabilistic-statistical method for theoretical calculation of characteristics related to suspensions separation in self-cleaning hydrodynamic filters with a rotating filter element has been demonstrated. It has been shown that the change in characteristics of the suspensions separation in hydrodynamic filters with a rotating filter element can be satisfactorily described based on equations of diffusion type, in particular, using the Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equation. The main parameters of the separation process in hydrodynamic filters with a rotating filter element have been determined.
