    Pavan, I think LI's point about pipe ordering means that you don't order pipe with a nominal size and a specified thickness (unless you...

    TiCl4 replied to the thread Non-Newtonian fluid ratholing.
    Think about it this way. Shear stress is proportional to the differential velocity as a function of r (the du/dy term). Microscopically...

    Best case has a near 0-0 intercept on the green line (stress-shear curve). That tells me it's a standard shear thinning fluid (shear...

    Farmer, There were two points to the exercise. Firstly, to get an idea of your flow profile shape. I think it's pretty clear that you...

    You have an actual pressure drop of 1.5 bar per meter of pipe?

    Also, if you do the steps above, make sure to graph velocity, v, versus r (distance from center). This will give you a velocity profile...

    TiCl4 replied to the thread Non-Newtonian fluid ratholing.
    OP, since you have a rheology profile for your liquid, follow the below steps to get an equation that describes your fluid. Based on...

    TiCl4 replied to the thread Heat Exchanger UA value - Query.
    To be honest, the only time I've seen UA calculated as a whole unit is on existing heat exchangers where you need to track fouling over...

    I think OP means chlorine gas, which can indeed permeate through PTFE material. The mechanism by which this occurs is periodic...

    I've sent you a PM.

    Firstly, thank you for all the help you’ve given thus far. I am sorry for the continued questions, but my company doesn’t have any...

    I'll bring them out for good in 1 week and rinse/clean. This was a 1-week visual inspection made just due to the change in hue of some...

    FYI we performed some initial corrosion tests in the lab with a few materials. In order of the pictures below, they are 2205, Alloy 20...
