Substituting the resistance force into equation 51 and expressing F and V in terms of d, the basic equation of sedimentation theory is obtained ... 

This expression represents the first form of the general dimensionless equation of sedimentation theory. As the desired value is the velocity of the particle, equation 64 is solved for the Reynolds number ...

In a more recent, alternate theory, Thomas Gold (Cornell University) suggests tii.il. in contrast with the organic sediments theory, tire prime source of natural gas is primordial, abiotic methane rising from deep within the earth s mantle. This is discussed in further detail in tile article on Natural Gas.

A determination of the critical exponent 8 has been made for the liquid-liquid system, n-decane-fifi dichloroethyl ether (chlorex). Utilizing schlieren photographs of the system in an ultracentrifuge at a temperature slightly below the critical solution point, the density gradient was obtained as a function of radius. These gradients, used in conjunction with sedimentation theory, provided a means for calculating values for the exponent 8. The values thus obtained are consistent with accepted values for the exponents / and y in two-fluid systems. They are, however, smaller than those found for pure fluids. 

Diffusion and sedimentation theories can, like thermodynamics, be formulated without using the molecular concept at the same time, however, they will eventually lose some of their inherent value. As an example, Eq. (9) is written without reference to molar properties. We have...
