Assumptions and Limitations of Stokes’ Law

(A) . Particles must be spherical, smooth and rigid. But, soil colloidal particles are plateshaped and fall slower than spherical particles of the same mass.
(B) . Size of particles must be large compared to the size of molecules of the liquid, so that the medium can be considered homogeneous, i.e. no Brownian movement occurs.
(C) . Fall must be unhindered. Particles falling very near the wall of the vessel (0.1 mm. distance) are slowed down in their descent. Many fast falling particles may drag finer particles down along with them (concentration up to 3% solids)
(D) . Particles must be of uniform density and the suspension must be still without any turbulence
