A program developed for the TI-59 hand-held calculator determines whether the flow pattern for a given mud system is laminar or turbulent, calculating the Reynolds number for each pattern. Applicable to Newtonian, Bingham plastic, and power-law fluids, the program contributes to determining the frictional pressure loss in the pipe and annulus.
