Problem 5. Estimate the terminal settling velocity (m/s) of a spherical particle (density 2650 kg/m³) with a diameter of 0.5 mm in water. Assume the water is at 20°C (density = 998.2 kg/m', dynamic viscosity = 1.002x10* kgm's'). [Hint: to solve this problem, initially assume laminar flow and use Stoke's law to estimate the settling velocity of the particle. Then check the Reynolds number. If it is out of the laminar range, use the Stoke's law estimate and Reynolds number as your initial estimates in solving the problem iteratively using Newton's law. Perform your iterative solution with Newton's law using Excel, either “by hand," or using the iterative calculation function, and attach your spreadsheet). %3|
