Stoke's law is valid, when NRe, p is less than_________________?
Correct answer: A. 2
- A. 2
- B. 100
- C. 2100
- D. 700
Explanation
Stokes' settling law applies in the creeping-flow range, conventionally stated in many chemical-engineering texts as particle Reynolds number below about 2. At larger Reynolds numbers, inertial drag corrections are required.
