Abstract
Much of particle technology is concerned with the interactions between particles and fluids. This chapter is intended to introduce basic concepts which underlie many of the applications of particle technology, and to provide some useful results which can be applied immediately, for example to the calculation of terminal and hindered settling velocities. The topic of particle/fluid interaction is broad in itself; for a detailed treatment of single rigid particles, liquid drops and gas bubbles, covering heat and mass transfer as well as fluid mechanics and momentum transfer, the reader is referred to Clift et al. (1978).
