Estimate sedimentation rates of human red blood cells


Estimate the sedimentation rates (terminal velocities) of human red blood cells (RBC) in dispersed in normal saline and in a 10,000 g field. Use the properties of water at 25°C for the properties of the saline. Assume the blood cells are 9.0 µm diameter by 2.0 µm thick disks. Perform your calculations for disks settling both the edge on and face on orientations.
