Question 1.iii
Both functions P and Q are size and velocity independent. Heywood produced tables of log(U/Q) as a function of log(Px) and vice-versa.


Use your Heywood tables to complete the following:
Particle diameter (microns): 1 10 50 100 1000
log(Px): --- --- A --- ---


The term A missing from the above is:

  a) 0.0156
b) 0.156
c) 1.56
d) 15.6
Note, don't forget to convert microns to metres in SI units.
