Aerosol particles, how do I calculate this?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the settling time of aerosol particles with a diameter of 5 μm and a density of 1000 kg/m3 in a room measuring 20 m2 with a height of 3.5 m, one must consider the principles of dry deposition. The expected time for all particles to settle on the floor is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. This calculation involves understanding particle dynamics and environmental factors affecting deposition rates. Proper use of the homework section and template is recommended for clarity. The discussion concludes with a definitive answer to the settling time query.

TL;DR Summary
Aerosol particles with an average diameter of 5 μm and a density of 1000 kg / m3 are spread to a room with a floor area of 20 m2 and a height of 3.5 m. How long does it take for all 5 μm particles to settle on the floor (dry deposition)?

Please use the appropriate homework section and template for this. Thanks. Thread closed.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
