Abstract
Experimental data on the pressure drop across 1/2-in. globe and gate v alves in the horizontal plane for non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluids i n laminar flow are presented. Generalized correlations in terms of the various physical and dynamic variables of the system have been develo ped for prediction of the frictional pressure drop for each valve. Sta tistical analysis of the correlations suggest that they are of accepta ble accuracy.
