  1. Motion of particles trough fluidspart 1 By Mdm. Noor Amirah Abdul Halim

  2. Mechanics of Particle Motion • For a rigid particle moving through a fluid, there are 3 forces acting on the body • - The external force (gravitational or centrifugal force) • - The buoyant force (opposite but parallel direction to external force) • - The drag force (opposite direction to the particle motion)

  3. Equation for One-dimensional Motion of Particle through Fluid • Consider a particle of mass m moving through a fluid under the action of an external forceFe. Let the velocity of the particle relative to the fluid be u, let the buoyant force on the particle beFband let the drag be FD, then • The external force (Fe ) - Expressed as a product of the mass (m) and the acceleration (ae) of the particle from this force

  4. The buoyant force (Fb) – Based on Archimedes’ law, the product of the mass of the fluid displaced by the particle and the acceleration from the external force. • The volume of the particle is • The mass of fluid displaced is where   is the density of the fluid. The buoyant force is given by The drag force (FD) where CD is the drag coefficient, Ap is the projected area of the particle in the plane perpendicular to the flow direction.

  5. By substituting all the forces in the Eq. (1) • Case 1 : Motion from gravitational force

  6. Case 2 : Motion in a centrifugal field • r = radius of path of particles • = angular velocity, rad/s • In this equation, u is the velocity of the particle relative to the fluid and is directed outwardly along a radius.

  7. Terminal Velocity • In gravitational settling, g is constant ( 9.81m/s2) • The drag ( CD) always increases with velocity (u). • The acceleration (a) decreases with time and approaches zero. • The particle quickly reaches a constant velocity which is the maximum attainable under the circumstances. • This maximum settling velocity is called terminal velocity.

  8. For spherical particle of diameter Dp moving through the fluid, the terminal velocity is given by • Substitution of m and Ap into the equation for utgives the equation for gravity settling of spheres Frequently used

  9. In motion from a centrifugal force, the velocity depends on the radius • The acceleration is not constant if the particle is in motion with respect to the fluid. • In many practical use of centrifugal force, is small ( ) thus, it can be neglected to give

  10. Drag Coefficient • Drag coefficient is a function of Reynolds number (NRE). The drag curve applies only under restricted conditions: i). The particle must be a solid sphere; ii). The particle must be far from other particles and the vessel wall so that the flow pattern around the particle is not distorted; iii). It must be moving at its terminal velocity with respect to the fluid.

  11. Reynolds Number • Particle Reynolds Number • For Re < 1 (Stokes Law applied- laminar flow) Thus, u: velocity of fluid stream Dp : diameter of the particle : density of fluid : viscosity of fluid

  12. For Re = 1 – • For 1000 < Re <200 000 (Newton’s Law applied –turbulent flow) • Newton’s law applies to fairly large particles falling in gases or low viscosity fluids.

  13. Criterion for settling regime • To identify the range in which the motion of the particle lies, the velocity term is eliminated from the Reynolds number (Re) by substituting ut from Stokes’ law and Newton’s law. • Using Stoke’s Law;

  14. To determine the settling regime, a convenient criterion K is introduced. • Thus Re = K3/18. • Set Re = 1 and solving for K gives K=2.6. • If K < 2.6 then Stokes’ law applies.

  15. Using Newton’s Law; • Substitution by criterion K, • Thus, • Set Re = 1000 and solving for K gives K = 68.9. • Set Re = 200,000 and solving for K gives K = 2,360.

  16. THUS; • Stokes’ law range: K < 2.6 • Newton’s law range: 68.9 < K < 2,360 • Intermediate range : whenK > 2,360 or 2.6 < K < 68.9, ut is found from;    • using a value of CD found by trial from the curve.

  17. Exercise ( criterion of settling regime) • Determine the settling regime for those substance:

  18. In general case, the terminal velocity, can be found by try and error after guessing Re to get an initial estimate of drag coefficient CD . • Normally for this case the particle diameter Dpis known Drag coefficients (CD) for spheres and irregular particles

  19. Exercise 1.Oil droplets having diameter of 20 μm are to be settled from air with a density of 1.137kg/m3 and viscosity of 1.9 x 10-5 Pa.s at velocity of 0.7 m/s. Meanwhile, the density of the oil is 900 kg/m3. Calculate the terminal velocity of the droplets if the droplets is assumed to be a rigid sphere. 2. Estimate the type of flow if the oil droplets of diameter 0.02m settled at terminal velocity of 21.67 m/s

  20. Exercise (Trial n error method) Solid spherical particles of coffee extract from a dryer having diameter of 400µm are falling through air at a temperature of 422.1 K at pressure 101.32 kPa. The density of the particles is 1030 kg/m3. Calculate the terminal settling velocity.
