Title: | Laminar entry flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a circular pipe | Authors: | Gupta, R.C. Zhao, Y. |
Issue Date: | 2000 | Citation: | Gupta, R.C.,Zhao, Y. (2000). Laminar entry flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a circular pipe. Advances in Fluid Mechanics : 135-144. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Fargie and Martin used an elegant approach to obtain the entry region flow of Newtonian fluids in a circular pipe. They combined the differential and integral momentum equation in such a way that elimination of pressure gradient leads to a closed form solution. In this paper we extend this procedure to study the laminar entry region flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluids in a circular pipe. The solution procedure involves certain approximations. Applicability of these approximations to Herschel-Bulkley fluids has been discussed and the flow description has been obtained for various values of the flow behavior index and the Herschel-Bulkley number. Results have been illustrated graphically and compared with other available solutions: momentum integral and momentum energy integral solutions of the problem. Data displayed in the paper should be useful for design of any flow intake device involving Herschel-Bulkley fluids. | Source Title: | Advances in Fluid Mechanics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/104581 | ISSN: | 1353808X |
