Question: A height - time curve is recorded for a Type 2 batch settling experiment which was carried out in a vertical graduated cylinder. The plot

A height-time curve is recorded for a Type 2 batch settling experiment which was carried out in a vertical graduated cylinder. The plot is shown in the following page. The initial concentration of the suspension in the cylinder is 0.2 m^3/m^3.Determine:
(a) the velocity of the interface between the clear liquid and the suspension concentration of 0.2 m^3/m^3
(b) the velocity of the interface between the clear liquid and the suspension concentration of 0.48 m^3/m^3
(c) the velocity of a layer of concentration of 0.48 m^3/m^3 propagates upwards from the base of the cylinder
(d) the concentration of the final sediment
(e) the velocity at which the sediment propagates upwards from the base
