    Pressure Drop Calculations For Power Law Fluids

    Uploaded by

    Ahmed Mohamed Khalil
    This document details the calculation of pressure drop for a power law fluid flowing through a pipe and system of fittings. Key information includes: - The fluid is scmc flowing at 1200 kg/hr through a 100mm diameter pipe that is 103m long - Pressure drop is calculated for turbulent flow based on the power law Reynolds number of 4244.13 - Additional pressure drop is contributed by elbows, tees, valves, and other inline accessories - The total pressure drop calculated is 12.40 mlc or 1.46 bar
