NON-INVASIVE, IN-LINE CONSISTENCY MEASUREMENT OF A NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID

摘要

29ABSTRACTProvided herein is an in-line, non-invasivedevice and method for calculation of consistency of anon-Newtonian fluid flowing in a laminar manner through anon-rotating conduit where the consistency is calculateddirectly from a power-law model equation employing asindependent variables pressure head loss over a specificdistance and the bulk velocity of the fluid.
