terminal settling velocity. ... The measure is used in the design of chambers in which particles are removed from air or from water by gravitational settling. The horizontal flow rate through the chamber must allow time for the particles to reach the bottom of the Settling Chamber. 2, record 1, English, - terminal%20settling%20velocity
