I am working on a problem involving spray dryers. The material to be dryed would be injected through a rotating nozzle with multiple openings from the top. Hot air would be blown from the dryer's bottom part to dry the particle. I was wondering how can I approach the problem to find out the particle's terminal velocity.any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
