PRESSURE DROP OF PSEUDO-PLASTIC FLUIDS IN STATIC MIXERS

摘要

The relationship between pressure drop and Reynolds number, with the porosity of the mixer assembly taken into consideration, (Eq.4) correlates satisfactorily the data for pseudo-plastic fluids over a wide range of Reynolds number. The agreement between the experimental data and those predicted is quite good. Though the correlation is empirical, it is very useful for the evaluation of pressure drop of pseudo-plastic fluids in static mixers with a greater range of power-law index n and K than those found in literature.
