Kg. Chandra et Dd. Kale, PRESSURE-DROP FOR 2-PHASE AIR-NON-NEWTONIAN LIQUID FLOW IN STATIC MIXERS, Chemical engineering journal and the biochemical engineering journal, 59(3), 1995, pp. 277-280
The pressure drop for flow of two-phase air-non-newtonian fluids throu
gh static mixers was measured and empirically correlated using a Lockh
art-Martinelli type of correlation. The two-phase pressure drop increa
sed with increase in flow rate of each phase and depended on the desig
n of the static mixer and the power law index of the fluid.
