Abstract
Rotating cylinder experiments were conducted to study the effect of hydrodynamics on the deposition rate of calcium sulfate. The result indicate that the deposition rate increases with increasing Reynolds number both in the laminar as well as in the turbulent range. However, the increase in the turbulent range is from 3 to 5 times higher than that in the laminar range. The deposition experiments further show that the deposition rate on pre-scaled specimens is considerably higher than that on a polished specimens.
