GAS-NON-NEWTONIAN LIQUID FLOW THROUGH ELBOWS

Abstract

Experimental investigations have been carried out to evaluate the two-phase pressure drop across different types of elbows in the horizontal plane for gas-non-Newtonian pseudoplastic liquid flow. A generalised correlation have been developed to predict The two-phase pressure drop as a function of various physical and dynamic variables of the system. Statistical analysis of the correlation suggests that the correlation is of acceptable accuracy.
