    Forces acting on particles in fluids include gravity, buoyancy, and drag. Terminal velocity refers to the maximum speed attainable by an object while falling through a fluid, when the downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward drag force. The document discusses calculating drag force based on a particle's projected area and drag coefficient, and provides an example problem to determine the terminal velocity of a spherical sand particle falling through water. It also lists topics to be covered next time, including drag force, terminal velocity, hindered settling, sedimentation, suspensions, and a project.

    Todays topics
    Drag force
    Terminal velocity

    Particles and fluids


    Particles move through fluids
    Forces acting on particle:
    Gravity, Buoyancy,
    Drag

    Force is a vector
    Choose a direction
    Terminal velocity always means
    vertical direction (aligned with
    gravity)
    Example: A spherical particle of sand
    has diameter 70 m. What is its
    terminal velocity falling through
    water?

    Drag force

    Projected area: Look at particle


    falling toward you. You see a circle.
    Aproj = /4 x2
    CD is found from empirical
    correlations

    For next time

    Monday is a holiday.
    Drag force
    Terminal velocity
    Hindered settling
    Sedimentation
    Suspensions
