Question 53
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
The spherical grit particles, having a radius of 0.01 mm and specific gravity of 3.0, need to be separated in a settling chamber. It is given that
• g = 9.81 m/s²
• the density of the liquid in the settling chamber = 1000 kg/m³
• the kinematic viscosity of the liquid in the settling chamber = 10⁻⁶ m²/s
Assuming laminar conditions, the settling velocity (in mm/s, up to one decimal place) is ______.
