PARAMETERS OF TRANSPORT OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS THROUGH THE PIPES

Abstract

The Institute for Mining,Geotechnology and Environment has developed a tube viscometer which is enabling establishment of the rheological properties. This paper is describing how it is possible, by the help of the experimental results, to calculate the pressure drop of the concentrated suspension by transport through the pipes, being the basis for dimensioning the pipes.
