EXERCISE 2.2: A particle of equivalent sphere volume diameter 0.2 mm, density 2500 kg/m? and sphericity 0.6 falls freely under gravity in a fluid of density 1.0 kg/m? and viscosity 2 x10° Pas. Estimate the terminal velocity reached by the particle. (Answer: 0.6 m/s) SOLUTION TO EXERCISE 2.2: In this case we know the particle size and are required to determine its terminal velocity without knowing which regime is appropriate. The first step is, therefore, to calculate the dimensionless group Cy Re, 4
