    1. This document describes how to calculate pressure drop and friction factor for flow of a power law fluid through a pipe. The procedure is similar to that for a Newtonian fluid but uses the appropriate equations for viscosity, Reynolds number, and friction factor that account for the power law behavior. 2. Key steps are calculating the Reynolds number using the power law viscosity and flow rate, determining the friction factor from correlations involving the power law Reynolds number, and using this to find the pressure drop from standard equations. 3. Dimensional analysis shows the power law results reduce to the same form as Newtonian fluid equations when made dimensionless, with the power law Reynolds number substituting for the standard Reynolds number.

    Power Law Fluid

    The equivalent problem statement is


    Given: Q,m,n, ρ,D,L Find: DF

    Note that we have an additional fluid property (m and n instead of μ ), but we also
    assume that pipe roughness has a negligible effect, so the total number of
    variables is the same.

    The corresponding dimensionless variables are f, N Re.pl, and n [which are related
    by Eq. (6-47)], and the unknown (DF =ef ) appears in only one group ( f ).

    The procedure just followed for a Newtonian fluid can thus also be applied to a
    power law fluid if the appropriate equations are used, as follows.

    1. Calculate the Reynolds number (NRe.pl), using Eq. (6-45) and the
    volumetric flow rate instead of the velocity, i.e.,

    the shear stress and shear rate are negative in pipe flow, the appropriate form of the
    power law model for laminar pipe flow is
    n
     dv 
    n

     rx   m  rx 
    .
     rx  m  x  equ 6.42
       dr 

    By equating the shear stress from Eqs. (6-42) and (6-4), solving for the velocity gradient,
    and introducing the result into Eq. (6-7)

    R
    dv x
    Q    r 2 dr Eq. (6-7)
    0
    dr

    (as was done for the Newtonian fluid), the flow rate is found to be

    r
     rx    w r
    R equ 6.4
    2L
    1 1  3 n 1
      nR
    2 1    n n 
    Q    w 
     mR 
    r
    0
    n
    dr    w   R
     mR   3n  1 
    n

    This is the power law equivalent of the Hagen–Poiseuille equation. It can be written in
    dimensionless form by expressing the wall stress in terms of the friction factor using Eq.
    (6-5), solving for f, and equating the result to 16/NRe (i.e., the form of the Newtonian
    result). The result is an expression that is identical to the dimensionless Hagen–
    Poiseuille equation:

    fN Re . pl  16
    Equ6.44

    if the Reynolds number for the power law fluid is defined as

    8 D nV 2n
    N Re. pl  Eq. (6-45)
    m 2 3n  1 / n

    N Re . pl    equ 6.71
    m 2 n D 43 n  3n  1 

    2. Calculate f from Eq. (6-47).


    f  1    f L 
    f T
    8
     f Tr8  1

    Where

    fL  equ 6.48
    N Re . pl

    fT  1  1.87  2.39 n 
    N Re . Pl equ 6.49
    f Tr  1.79 x10 4 exp  5.24n  N Re

    . Pl

    equ 6.50

    fL 
    1  4 
    equ 6.51

    3. Calculate ef (hence DF) from Eq. (6-68).

     4 fL  V  32 fLQ 2
    2
    ef     

    And

      

      

    DF  e f 
    1
    2
     2V22  1V12 

    From the resulting value of DF, the required pump head (-w/g) can be
    determined, for example, from a knowledge of the upstream and downstream
    pressures and elevations using Eq. (6-69).
