Abstract
IN the course of a more extensive calculation, a set of equations has been obtained which relates the the sedimentation velocity u of particles falling through a liquid to the effective viscosity μ of a suspension of similar particles having the same density as the fluid. The volume concentration c is the same in both cases.
