In order to estimate the force necessary to detach solid particulate soils, glass particles adhering to a glass plate were removed in the thirdly revised prototype of the washing device, as has already been reported, and the force necessary to detach the soils, F
H1/2, was estimated. The particle behavior was recorded on a videotape recorder, and analyzed by VTR system and a personal computer.
The following results were obtained:
1) The removal percentage increased with increased washing time and particle size, and was proportional to flow speed.
2) F
H1/2increased with the size of the particle.
3) The particle behavior was ascertained to be of the two types, that have already been reported, namely A type removal and B type removal.
4) The particle behavior of type A removal was further identified as types A
1and A
2. Some particles disappeared from the monitor (removal of type A
1), and others were redeposited after having moved from adhesive position (removal of type A
2) . As for the flow speed, the A
1type removal rate was higher than the A
2type removal rate. The moving speed of particles of A
1type removal particles was faster than that of A
2type removal.
