Provide a research topic that is related to Fluid Mechanics. (For undergraduate Design Experiment.)
Stokes' law is very important for preparing suspensions. On the subject, tick the correct alternative. A - According to Stokes' law, the larger the particles of solid particles, the greater the viscosity. B - The sedimentation velocity of particles in a suspension is inversely proportional to the diameter of the particles and directly proportional to the viscosity of the medium. C - The Stokes equation was based on an ideal condition, in which irregular particles in a little diluted suspension are deposited with turbulence and collision reinforcement, without affinity for the dispersing medium. D - According to Stokes' Law, the larger the suspended particle size, the greater the sedimentation velocity, considering the other constant factors.
