Potential Hydraulic Modelling Errors Associated with Rheological Data Extrapolation in Laminar Flow

Conference ·
OSTI ID:636038

The potential errors associated with the modelling of flows of non-Newtonian slurries through pipes, due to inadequate rheological models and extrapolation outside of the ranges of data bases, are demonstrated. The behaviors of both dilatant and pseudoplastic fluids with yield stresses, and the errors associated with treating them as Bingham plastics, are investigated.
