Terminal velocities of drops of organic liquids of diameter 0.0726 to 0.7256 cm in polymer solutions are determined. The Reynolds number range covered is 0.1 to 103. Visual observations on the shapes and oscillations of drops are reported. A correlation for the terminal velocity data is presented. Copyright © 1972 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering
