A mixture of copper (p = 8960 kg/m³), nickel (p=8902 kg/m³), and silica (p = 2650 kg/m³) having a size range between 0.020 mm to 0.035 mm is to be separated by elutriation using water. The density of water is 992.22 kg/m³ and its viscosity is 0.653 cP. If a 1-m tank is used for this process, what should be the minimum and maximum volumetric water flow rate (m³/h) to be used? Assume Stokes' Law applies. Round your answer to four decimal places.
