Construction & Design Details-
The apparatus uses two long transparent Plexiglas tubes mounted vertically on a rigid backboard. A guided entry system ensures particles are released smoothly into the fluid. The bottom chamber allows retrieval of particles with minimal loss of liquid. The design supports clear visual observation of particle motion throughout the experiment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the primary purpose of this apparatus?
It is used to determine drag coefficients and settling velocities of particles in fluids.
Q2. How are drag coefficients calculated?
By measuring the falling time of particles over a known distance and correlating with fluid properties.
Q3. Can different fluids be used in the tubes?
Yes. Fluids of varying viscosity can be used for comparative studies.
Q4. How are particles recovered after experiments?
Particles are removed through a valve chamber at the bottom of each tube without draining the fluid.
Q5. Are non-spherical particles supported?
Yes. Optional streamline and shaped samples are available for extended studies.
