A general approach on the quantification of pressure-driven flows of non-Newtonian fluids based on the energy balance
장혜경, 황욱렬(경상대학교)
In this work, we propose a systematic approach in quantifying the effective viscosity, effective shear rate and pumping characteristics of pressure-driven continuous flows of non-Newtonian fluids in general flow geometries based on the energy balance. Only two flow constants (i.e., the coefficient of effective shear rate and the coefficient of energy dissipation rate), which depend solely on the flow geometry, are employed to quantify flow characteristics of continuous flow systems, independent of viscosity behaviors of a shear-thinning fluid. In the present work, we extend the original Metzner-Otto correlation to continuous flows and apply the present quantification method with the two flow constants to more general types of flows with various viscosity models (Newtonian, power-law, Carreau and Herschel-Bulkley models) such as an axisymmetric expansion/contraction flow with various expansion ratios and a flow in a Kenics mixer in order to show its accuracy and feasibility.
Keywords : Continuous flows, pumping characteristics, Metzner-Otto correlation, effective shear rate, energy balance
