Solid particles separation based on the difference in their flow velocities through fluids is termed as the__________________?
Correct answer: B. Classification
- A. Clarification
- B. Classification
- C. Elutriation
- D. Sedimentation
Explanation
Classification separates particles according to their different settling or flow velocities in a fluid. Elutriation is one specific fluid-flow method used to perform such a classification.
