Non-Newtonian Pressure Drop (revisited....again)

[Ninja1980]

Hi all

I’ve been asked by my company to research methods of predicting pressure drop for non Newtonian fluids (Bingham-Plastic Model in particular). I’ve found quite a lot of information on pressure drop in the laminar flow regime but as yet very little on turbulent flow.

Can anyone give me a few pointers to literature sources?

Thanks

Perry's 7th Ed. page 6-14 speaks to turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids. It has some equations and several references. Check A. H. P. Skelland's, "Non-Newtonian Flow and Heat Transfer".

Good luck,
