This work is aimed at confirming the adequacy of the probabilistic and statistical approach to determining the aerodynamic resistance coefficient of particles in a flow of the free falling polyfractional material, suggested by the author. The aerodynamic resistance coefficient of particles in a flow of falling material is defined by calculating the probability of finding particles out of air shadows of the neighboring particles. The laboratory experiment was performed on the offered experimental samples of bulk materials having different particle size distribution, but the identical average diameter of particles. The design of a laboratory experimental installation which allows determining the consumption of air, ejected by a polyfractional material flow, was described. The amount of the air, ejected with experimental samples, depends on their particle size distribution that confirms the insufficiency of describing the properties of bulk material only with the average diameter value. The given comparison of results of the analytical calculations with experimental data shows the reliability and adequacy of the calculated values.

Suspended particle size is one of the main factors which affect the performance of the microfiltration. Experimental results with bi and trimodal suspensions of latex particles clearly showed that the permeate flux and the quality were significantly affected by the particle size and its distribution, especially when the particle size was smaller than the pore size of the membrane.
