Terminal velocity in a separator

Input(s)

g: Acceleration Due to Gravity $\left(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{p}}$: Particle Diameter $(\mathrm{ft})$

$\mathrm{N}$: Drag Coefficient (fraction)

$\rho_{\mathrm{p}}$: Particle Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

$\rho_{\mathrm{f}}$: Fluid Density $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

A: Flow Regime Constant (dimensionless) (dimensionless)

$\mu$: Viscosity $(\mathrm{cP})$

Output(s)

$v_{t}$: Terminal Velocity of a Particle falling through a fluid by the pull of Gravity $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})$
