 FLUIDFLOW3  Non-Newtonian/non-settling liquids and Newtonian settling slurries Previous  Contents

NON-NEWTONIAN / NON-SETTLING LIQUID SIMULATION


FluidFlow3 Slurry will have extensive applications in the mining, mineral processing, food, wastewater and pharmaceutical industries where the design of a pumped systems must take into account the effect of a liquid's apparant viscosity and yield shear stress.

The fluids database enables the liquid's physical properties - based on viscometry testing - to be entered, with FludFlow3 Slurry calculating the relationship between Apparant Viscosity and Rate of Shear, as shown in the screen images below.


As an alternative approach, test values of Shear Rate versus Shear Stress may be entered, with FluidFlow3 Slurry fitting an appropriate curve to generate the relationship between Apparant Viscosity and Rate of Shear, as shown on the screen images below.

Having defined the liquid type in the fluids database, FluidFlow3 Slurry automatically selects the appropriate correlation when the liquid is defined within the flowsheet model, as shown in the screen image below.
