Title: Terminal Velocity as the Measure of Dust-Particle Characteristics

Since most industrial dusts are a mixture of particles of irregular shapes and varying densities, this paper will show the importance of considering the effect of all particle characteristics, size, shape, and density, upon its behavior in a fluid. It will also show that the terminal velocity of a dust particle is a measurement of the combined effect of all three particle characteristics as they affect its behavior.Read More
