The image above represents drag force with respect to velocity and density. To calculate drag force with respect to velocity and density, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Particle Diameter (d), Acceleration due to Gravity (g), Density of Solid Particle (ρs) and Density of Fluid (ρf).
The formula for calculating the drag force with respect to velocity and density:
D = πd³g(ρs – ρf) / 6
Where:
D = Drag Force with Respect to Velocity and Density
d = Particle Diameter
g = Acceleration due to Gravity
ρs = Density of Solid Particle
ρf = Density of Fluid
Let’s solve an example;
Find the drag force with respect to velocity and density when the particle diameter is 6, the acceleration due to gravity is 3, the density of solid particle is 8 and density of fluid is 2.
This implies that;
d = Particle Diameter = 6
g = Acceleration due to Gravity = 3
ρs = Density of Solid Particle = 8
ρf = Density of Fluid = 2
D = πd³g(ρs – ρf) / 6
D = π(6)³(3)(8 – 2) / 6
That is, D = π(216)(3)(6) / 6
D = 12214.5 / 6
D = 2035.75
Therefore, the drag force with respect to velocity and density is 2035.75 N.
