✦ Synopsis
The wall effects on the terminal falling velocity of a sphere moving through power law liquids
(1 >~ n >~ 0.36) contained in a rectangular duct have been examined in the creeping flow region. Defining an effective diameter D e of the rectangular duct with a falling sphere, the experimental wall factor data have been correlated by means of a single relationship for rectangular ducts of arbitrary geometry including the parallel plates and square ducts.
