Chapter 9. Non-Newtonian Fluids
9.0 Chapter Objectives
On completion of this chapter, a student should be able to:
Distinguish between Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Identify common types of non-Newtonian fluids
Distinguish between Bingham plastic fluids, pseudoplastic fluids, dilatant fluids, time-dependent fluids, and viscoelastic fluids
Determine the type of non-Newtonian fluid from a shear diagram (shear stress vs. shear rate)
Use the generalized Reynolds number equation to calculate the limits of the laminar flow regime
Calculate the pressure drop for power-law fluids flowing in laminar flow in a pipe
Calculate the pressure drop for power-law fluids flowing in turbulent flow by using friction-factor charts
Determine the flow profile ...
