I would like to know how does one compensate for liquids with changing viscosities when agitated or shear force is applied to it. Of greater interest is the motor sizing since the resistance to flow increases with an increase in shear force in the case of dilatant liquids and the resistance to...
I have always been exposed to Newtonian fluids in my piping engineering career. I have just learned that dilatant liquids, i.e. liquids which their viscosities increase with an increase in shear force applied on them do exist, e.g. clay slurries. If one do pump sizing calculations, how does he...
