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
  • density of the liquid in the settling chamber = 1000 kg/m3
  • 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 _______.

Correct : 21.1
