In chemical engineering terms, sedimentation refers to the tendency for the particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained, and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration or electromagnetism.

Who discovered sedimentation?
Sedimentation was discovered by Reuss in 1809. Sedimentation is the suspension of particles that settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier.
What does a chronically high sedimentation rate indicate?
A high sedimentation rate (ESR) indicates inflammation in the body somewhere. The sedimentation rate wil not indicate the cause of the inflammation. However a chronic sedimentation rat can indicate an Autoimmune problem like rheumatoid arthritis.
Is a 9 in sed rate high?
Sedimentation rate is a test used to diagnose inflammation in the body. Westergren method is one of the ways that sedimentation rate is evaluated. Normal sedimentation rate for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, females is 0-20
What is westergren sedimentation rack?
The westergren rack is a student physiology practical apparatus that holds the westergren tube and is used in the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR.
What does a sedimentation rate of 45 mmhr mean?
The normal sedimentation rate (Westergren method) for males is 0-15 millimeters per hour, and for females is 0-20 millimetres per hour. The sedimentation rate can be slightly more elevated in the elderly and is much lower for children. A sedimentation rate is raised when there is some sort of inflammation either as the result of infection or an autoimmune condition like Rheumatoid arthritis.
Is sedimentation a physical change or a chemical change?
Sedimentation is a physical process.
What is the sedimentation?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
What rocks are produced by chemical sedimentation?
Chemical sedimentary rocks such as chert and flint.
How is Production Engineering related to Chemical Engineering?
Chemical Engineering is mainly based on Chemical Reaction Engineering. It is the things which happens inside the production reaction ( Which is what they do in production engineering but not in the chemical aspect )
What type of engineering is the best?
Chemical engineering
What involves a chemical chang melting sedimentation decomposition evaporation?
decomposition
Does petrochemical engineering and chemical engineering have similarity?
Petrochemical engineering is a sub-branch of the wide discipline of chemical engineering, It is very much similar to chemical engineering in the way it specializes in production of petrochemicals.
What is universal engineering?
chemical engineering
Which field of engineering is largest in terms in terms of the number of people employed in that field?
electrical engineering and computer engineering
What are undergraduate programmes that offered by FKKKSA?
The faculty is currently offering five undergraduate programmes: - Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) - Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical-Bioprocess) - Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical-Gas) - Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical-Polymer) - Bachelor of Engineering (Petroleum)

Chemical engineering and Petro-chemical engineering are same branch or not?
it is a branch of chemical engineering, to become a petrol engineer you will most likely first finish a bachelors in chemical engineering then continue a focus in petrol in graduate school.
