Question:

Consider small oil droplets \((\mathrm{SG}=0.85)\) rising in water. Develop a relation for calculating terminal speed of a droplet (in \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) ) as a function of droplet diameter (in \(\mathrm{mm}\) ) assuming Stokes flow. For what range of droplet diameter is Stokes flow a reasonable assumption?
