With what terminal velocity will an air bubble `0.8 mm` in diameter rise in a liquid of viscosity `0.15 N-s//m^(2)` and specific gravity `0.9`? Density of air is `1.293 kg//m^(3)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The terminal velocity of the bubble is given by,
`v_(T)=(2)/(9)(r^(2)(rho-sigma)g)/(eta)`
Here, `r=0.4xx10^(-3) m`,
`sigma=0.9xx10^(3) kgm^(-3) rho=1.293 kgm^(-3)`
`eta=0.15, Nsm^(-2) " and " g=9.8 ms^(-2)`
Substituting the values, we have,
`v_(T)=(2)/(9)xx((0.4xx10^(-3))^(2)(1.293-0.9xx10^(3))xx9.8)/(0.15)`
`= -0.0021 ms^(-1)`
or `v_(T)= -0.21 cms^(-1)`
