The flow rate and power requirement ratios decrease with increasing dimensionless frequency and ultimately approach values of unity. At low dimensionless frequencies, the flow and power ratios reach maximum asymptotic values.6. If the rheological behavior of a polymer solution or polymer melt can be described by an Ellis or power law model, the dimensionless graphs can be used to estimate flow rates and power requirements for a pulsating flow process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
