Abstract
Resistance coefficients for flow of suspensions of well defined glass beads of narrow size fractions in 1-inch and 2-inch straight pipes, in standard 45°, 90° and 180° bends, in 90° smooth bends of various curvature radii, and also in gate and globe valves were measured. The measurements were made for two sizes of fine glass beads, -325 mesh and -200-325 mesh, covering wide ranges of turbulent Reynolds number and solids concentrations from 0 to 50 weight percent. These friction loss data were analyzed with regard to the effects of Reynolds number and suspended solids concentration, and the calculated resistance coefficients were compared with those estimated from available design procedures recommended for turbulent single-phase Newtonian flow. Within the range of particle sizes examined in this work no particle size effects could be discerned. The effects of Reynolds number and suspended solids concentration on the friction loss measurement were calculated.Keywords
