Gravity settling process is not involved in the working of a________________?
Correct answer: A. Hydrocyclone
- A. Hydrocyclone
- B. Classifier
- C. Dorr-thickener
- D. Sedimentation tank
Explanation
A hydrocyclone separates particles mainly by centrifugal action produced by the swirling fluid, not by gravity settling. Classifiers, thickeners, and sedimentation tanks rely primarily on gravitational settling.
