A Unified solution to problem of flow of viscoplastic fluids and of flow of viscoplastic fluids through fixed beds

Abstract

An approach to the calculation of drag and fall velocity of a spherical particle in viscoplastic fluids and to the calculation of pressure drop in flow of viscoplastic fluids through random fixed beds of particles is suggested. It is based on the application of the modified Rabinowitsch-Mooney equations together with corresponding relations for consistency variables.
