Settling velocities of particulate systems part 17. Settling velocities of individual spherical particles in Power-Law non-Newtonian fluids

• Expression to determine the drag coefficient for Pseudoplastic fluids
• Explicit theoretical equation to compute settling velocity in Pseudoplastic fluids
• A comparison with experimental results is shown.

An explicit theoretical equation, compared with empirical published results, is presented to calculate the terminal settling velocities of spherical particles in Power-Law non-Newtonian fluids for Reynolds Numbers less than 1000.
