Title: Wall Effects on Spheres Settling Through Non-Newtonian Fluid Media in Cylindrical Tubes
Abstract:Experimental study is performed to understand and quantify the wall and eccentric retardation effects on spheres settling in shear thinning and shear-thinning viscoelastic fluids over a wide range of ...Experimental study is performed to understand and quantify the wall and eccentric retardation effects on spheres settling in shear thinning and shear-thinning viscoelastic fluids over a wide range of diameter ratios (0.02 < λ < 0.9). The four-parameter Carreau viscosity equation has been chosen to represent the apparent viscosity-shear rate of polyacrylamide solutions. Two new wall factor corrections are presented with excellent agreement compared to experimental data.Read More
