18 When heating a W/O emulsion, it is verified that the viscosity and density of the continuous medium reduced by half, while the viscosity and density of the dispersed medium did not change. changed. How much did the terminal velocity of the droplet increase with this treatment?

Stokes' Law Formula - Velocity (the formula to use)

V = [g.(a - b). d ]/ 18 o

V = sedimentation velocity of the aqueous phase, m/s;

g = local gravity acceleration, m/s;

a = specific mass of the dispersed phase, Kg/ m;

b = specific mass of the continuous phase, Kg / m;

d = droplet diameter, m;

o = viscosity of the continuous phase, Kg/m.s;
