This project is an experimental and modelling study of a technique for          separating suspended particles which differ in their sedimentation              speeds.  The technique uses a combination of appropriately phased               forced oscillatory flow in a horizontal tube with periodic rotation             about the tube axis to reverse the vertical motion of the particles.            The technique has been successfully used on particles in the 100                micron size range.  The new research will concentrate on particles in           the technologically much more important size range of 10 micron and             smaller.  The research also will explore the use of centrifugal fields          instead of gravity to extend the basic technique to submicron diameter          particles.                                                                                                                                                      The proposed technique may fill a useful niche for the size                     fractionation of small particles for size analysis or for production            of high value added powders such as closely sized particles for                 chromatographic separations and closely sized fibers for fiber                  reinforced composites.
