Question 2 (2 points) (L.O.12): A gravity settling tank has a settling area of 5 (m) x 25 (m) and a capacity of 1000 m³ of suspension per hour. The densities of dispersed and continuous phases are 2000 and 1000 kg/m³, respectively. Viscosity of the continuous phase is 1cP. a. Determine the minimum diameter of the dispersed phase that can be settled. b. As the viscosity of the continuous phase increases, how does the settling capacity change and why?
