THE FLOW OF NON-NEWTONIAN SLURRIES AND SUSPENSIONS IN PIPELINE SYSTEMS

The effects of the particle weight, interparticle forces and the hydrodynamic interactions between the particles and liquid, as factors in the determination of the behavior of solid-in-liquid systems. It is shown that these lead to the two types of non-Newtonian behavior--settling suspensions and homogeneous slurries. The behavior of these fluids in pipeline flow is discussed. The different procedures required for the design of pipelines to handle such fluids. The methods used for the calculation of pressure losses in pipe fittings, such as bends, changes in pipe diameter and valves.
