Measurement and correlation of turbulent friction factors of thoria suspensions at elevated temperatures

Abstract: Oak Ridge Notional Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TennesseeWhen an aqueous flocculated suspension of thoria is pumped through a pipe with a sufficiently high velocity, shear-induced turbulence will develop just as for Newtonian fluids. The interparticle attractive force responsible for flocculation, which produces a shear-dependent viscosity in laminar flow, is overcome sufficiently by large shearinduced forces to permit the random eddying of turbulence to occur.As with Newtonian fluids the turbulent behavior cannot b… Show more

“…In addition, several authors (Bobkowicz and Gauvin, 1965;Hoyt, 1972;Vaseleski, 1973;Zandi, 1967) have claimed that nonfibrous solid-liquid suspension pipe flow pressure drop measurements of earlier authors indicated drag reduction. Those earlier papers which have been so described are the water suspensions of sand used by Blatch ( 1906), of emery used by Maude and Whitemore (1958), and of thoria used by Thomas (1962) and by Eissenberg ( 1964). However, examination of the data presented in these papers shows that none of these nonfibrous suspensions was drag reducing over any significant range of flow rates, nor did Blatch, Maude and Whitemore, Thomas or Eissenberg claim them to be drag reducing.…”

“…The work is reported in detail in a thesis (2). The friction factor data are presented with only brief comment, since more extensive friction factor data for high temperature thoria slurries has been discussed more fully elsewhere ( 3 ) .…”
