Urea pellets are made by spraying drops of molten urea into cold gas at the top of a tall tower and allowing the material to solidify as it falls. Pellets 6 mm in diameter are to be made in a tower 25 m high containing air at 20 °C. The density of urea is 1330 kg/m3 . a. What would be the terminal velocity of the pellets, assuming free-settling conditions? 2 b. Would the pel1ets attain 99 percent of this velocity before they reached the bottom of the tower?
