+ Dredging operations in a river yield la

+ oarse sand with a diameter of 4 mi

+ s coarse sand with a diameter of 1
+ 000 microns or 1mm.determine the s

+ ss.Gw=9764 N/m^3;Ssand=2.65;Sclay=

+ celsius is 0.8*10D-3 N.s/m^2

+ Solution:

+ (i)For clay particles:
+
+ Assuming reynolds number less than 1
+
+ R1=
+
+ 3.255D-08
+
+ Since reynolds number is less than 1,he

+ (ii)For sand particles:
+
+ Assuming reynolds number greater than 1
+ and equal to 220 Cd=0.7
+
+ R2
+
