Hello IRstuff,
Actually, I was trying to follow the forum policies:
"Please do not ask a new question at the end of a thread on a different subject. It may well not get answered. If it's important enough to post, make it a new thread."
I think that even if they are related, restriction...
For anyone interested:
I talked with other vendors regarding this topic and one of them told me that basically they use the same equations as per incompressible flow, and apply viscosity corrections (apparent viscosity).
Best!
Hello all,
Another question regarding Non-Newtonian fluids:
Is anyone aware of the appropriate approach for sizing restriction orifices when the fluid is Non-Newtonian? Initially I am using the same equations as per incompressible fluids, and the only modification so far is that I am estimated...
Good Morning Latexman,
So far I have been working only with time-independent Non-Newtonian. I have been able to gather enough information to estimate the friction factor for Power-law fluids, Bingham plastics, and Herschel-Bulkley fluids and now I am working on fittings, control valves...
Good morning,
I have been looking for information regarding control valve sizing for Non-Newtonian fluids.
So far I have found a couple of proprietary methods from vendors but they are not willing to share them for study.
I am wondering if anyone knows a good reference (book, guidelines...
Good morning,
georgeverghese: Thanks a lot for your advice. Honestly I haven't thought of this reference. I will take a look at it.
Latexman: Yes, I caught both errors when checking the equations but thanks for the information. It will help me a lot for other sections I haven't read so...
Good morning,
I have been reading the equations provided by Darby (Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics 2nd Ed) to estimate the friction factor for Bingham plastics in both laminar and turbulent flow.
The generalized method suggests a combination of the laminar and turbulent friction factor as...
Hello all,
I have been studying AI and ML in the past couple of years (just as a hobby) and I am wondering if it is applied in Process Engineering. I can imagine a lot of applications for ML (not much for AI) but I don't know if anyone is actually using it in his/her everyday job.
Best!
