Settling velocities of particulate systems part 17. Settling velocities of individual spherical particles in Power-Law non-Newtonian fluids

Betancourt F, Concha F, Uribe L

An explicit theoretical equation, compared with empirical published results, is presented to calculate the terminal settling velocities of spherical particles in Power-Law non-Newtonian fluids for Reynolds Numbers less than 1000. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
