Particle Drag Coefficients
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9958
The Particle Drag Coefficients apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9958) is used to study the drag on a particle falling through a liquid at different Reynolds numbers. Balls of different materials, shapes and diameters are dropped down two illuminated glass columns and timed between guide marks. JaincoLab manufactures this particle drag coefficients apparatus for fluid mechanics and mechanical operations practicals in chemical, mechanical and civil engineering colleges.
Specifications
The apparatus has two glass tube columns, each 100 mm in diameter and 1.5 m long, with a top guide, guide marks and a valve at the bottom for removing the balls with minimum loss of liquid, a fluorescent lamp behind them, a set of balls and a stopwatch.

Applications of the particle drag coefficients apparatus
The particle drag coefficients apparatus lets students time the fall of different spheres to find their terminal velocity and drag coefficient over a range of Reynolds numbers, and compare the behaviour of two liquids side by side, in fluid mechanics and mechanical operations practicals.
- Determining the drag coefficient of particles at various Reynolds numbers
- Comparing the viscosity of two liquids in the two columns
- Observing the effect of boundary layer separation on the motion of a sphere
- Studying the effect of particle material, shape and size on settling

Frequently asked questions
What size are the columns?
Two glass tubes, each 100 mm in diameter and 1.5 m long.
How are the balls recovered?
Through a valve at the bottom of each column, with minimum loss of liquid.
Why are there two columns?
So that two liquids can be compared side by side under the same conditions.
