    This document provides 5 questions related to particle settling through fluids. The questions ask to calculate: 1) The time for a larger particle to settle compared to a smaller particle through the same height of viscous oil. 2) The distance between the settling locations of the largest and smallest particles in a mixture of silica particles settling through water over 5 minutes. 3) The settling time for galena particles to settle through 5 feet of water. 4) The height of a chamber needed to allow oil droplets to settle from air over 1 minute. 5) The ratio of material densities for two spherical particles with the same outer diameter but different densities and structures to have the same terminal velocity.

    INSTRUCTION: Provide the solution for the given question.

    1. Two very small silica particles are settling at their respective terminal velocities
    through a highly viscous oil column. If one particle is twice as large as the other, the
    larger particle will take __ the time taken by the smallest particle to fall through the
    same height.
    2. A mixture of silica particles ranging in size from 65 mesh to 150 mesh is thrown to a
    very deep body of fresh water (without tides or turbulence). How far will the largest
    particle be, in feet, from the smallest particle after 5 min? The temperature of water is
    300C.

    3. What is the settling time [sec] for galena particles to settle under free settling
    conditions through 5 ft of water at 500F? Galena is spherical in shape with diameter of
    0.01 inch diameter.

    4. Drops of oil 15 microns in diameter are to be settled from their mixture with air. The
    specific gravity of the oil is 0.90, and the air is at 700F and 1 atm and a settling time of 1
    min is available. How high (in ft) should the chamber be to allow settling of these
    particles?

    5. Two spherical particles have the same outer diameter but are made of different
    materials. The first one (with material density ρ1) is solid, whereas the second (with
    material density ρ2) is a hollow sphere with the inner shell diameter equal to half the
    outer diameter. If both the spheres have the same terminal velocity in any fluid, then
    the ratio of their material densities, ρ1 / ρ2 , is
