SynopsisIn the present study the step response experiments were carried out with power law fluids in two helical coils to examine the suitability of axial dispersed plug flow model in describing the laminar dispersion of non-Newtonian fluids in helical coils. The ranges of variables covered are 10 I X 5 100,O.Ol -< N h s e , I 2.5,O.OOl I N D , I 0.77 and 0.035 I T I 1.33. It is found that coiling results in reduced dispersion to that in a straight tube.
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.
