Empirical relation for the effect of the shape of the capsules and the nose shape on the velocity ratio of heavy density capsules in a hydraulic pipeline
The velocity ratio of heavy density spherical, cylindrical, square and
rectangular capsules is greatly dependent on the ratio of characteristic
diameter to the diameter of capsule and the shape factor. The velocity ratio of
heavy density cylindrical capsules having noses of different shapes is found to
be dominantly dependent on the ratio of location of mass centre of the capsule
to the diameter of capsule.
