Numerical Calculations for dimensionless pressure drop (friction factor times Reynolds number) have been obtained for fully developed laminar flow of MPL(Modified Power Law) fluid in isosceles triangle pipes. The solutions are valid for Pseudoplastic fluids over a wide range from Newtonian behavior at low shear rates through transition region to power law behavior at higher shear rates. The analysis identified a dimensionless shear rate parameter which for a given set of operating conditions specifies where in the shear rate range a particular system is operating, i.e., Newtonian, transition or power law region. The numerical calculation data of the dimensionless pressure drop for the Newtonian and power law regions are compared with previously published asymptotic results presenting within 0.16 % in Newtonian region and 2.98 % in power law region.

Computational results with pseudoplastic fluid flows for fully developed non-Newtonian laminar flows have been obtained. Those consist of the product of friction factor and Modified Reynolds number and Nusselt numbers with respect to the shear rate parameter in an annular pipe. The numerical results of the product of friction factor and Reynolds numbers and the Nusselt numbers for both Newtonian region and the power law region were compared with previously published asymptotic results, respectively. In the present calculations, the product of friction factor and Newtonian Reynolds numbers for pseudoplastic fluid at power law region in annular pipe is 180% less than that for Newtonian fluid. For power law fluids with different power law flow indices, the difference of the product of friction factor and power law Reynolds number between previous and the present results at the power law region is within 0.20%. The solutions also show the effect of the shear rate parameter on the Nusselt number and about 11% increase of Nusselt number at the power region.

원관에서 power-law 유체에 대하여 수력학적 입구길이와 입구보정계수를 측정할수 있는 새로운 방법이 개발되었다. 유변학적 성질을 측정할수 있는 긴관과 입구보정계수를 측 정할수 있는 짧은 관을 가진 새로운 모세관 점도계를 이용하여 증류수를 실험한 결과 유변 학적 성질과 입구 보정계수가 표준값과 비교하여 1%안의 오차를 얻었다. Power-law 유체 에 대한 해석 및 실험결과(Carbopol 960 용액)도 이미 보고된 값과 $\pm$6% 이내로 잘 일치하 였다.

The present study investigates the effects of Cattaneo-Christov thermal effects of stagnation point in Walters-B nanofluid flow through lubrication of power-law fluid by taking the slip at the interfacial condition. The impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motions are further accounted. The fluid impinging orthogonally on the surface is due to power-law slim coating liquid. The generalized newtonian fluid equation is used that obeys the power law constitutive equation to model our problem. The effect of velocity profiles, temperature for different values of n are investigated. The prandtl on the temperature distribution for partial slip and no slip cases is also observed. It is found that for larger values of prandtl number thermal diffusivity of fluid reduces and it enhance the decrease in temperature and boundary layer thickness.

본 연구는 열교환기의 효율적인 설계를 위하여 열교환기 내의 삼각형 단면 덕트의 비뉴톤 유체의 압력강하 및 대류 열전달률 수치해석적으로 수행하였다. 비뉴톤 유체의 구성방정식은 기존의 비뉴톤 유체 멱법칙을 보완한 수정 멱법칙 모델을 채택하였다. 덕트 내의 압력강하를 의미하는 마찰계수와 수정 레이놀즈 수의 곱은 기존 연구의 문헌치와 비교할 때 뉴톤 유체 영역과 비뉴톤 멱법칙 영역에서 각각 0.13% 및 2.85% 내에서 일치함을 보였고 비뉴톤 수정멱법칙 유체 모델의 형태를 띠는 Shear-Thinning 유체를 열교환기 내의 삼각형 단면 덕트 내에서 사용하면 뉴톤 유체보다 62%의 압력강하를 감소시켰고 12%의 대류 열전달 향상을 발생시킬 수 있었다.

Fluidized beds have been widely used in industrial applications, which in most of them, the operating fluid is non-Newtonian. In this study, the combination of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the smoothed profile method has been developed for non-Newtonian power-law fluids. The validation of the obtained model were investigated by experimental correlations. This model has been used for numerical studying of changing the operating fluid and geometrical parameters on the expansion behavior in liquid-solid beds with both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Investigations were performed for seven different geometries, one Newtonian, and two non-Newtonian fluids. The power-law index was in the range of 0.8 to 1, and the results for the Newtonian fluidized beds show more porosity than the non-Newtonian ones. Furthermore, increasing the power-law index resulted in enhancing the bed porosity. On the other hand, bed porosity was decreased by increasing the initial bed height and the density of the solid particles. Finally, the porosity ratio in the bed was decreased by increasing the solid particle diameter.

Steady flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in the stenotic tubes with various stenotic shapes are numerically simulated. Validity of the modified power-law model as a constitutive equation for the purely viscous non-Newtonian fluid is discussed and the results of the power-law model are compared with those of the Carreau model, the Powell-Eyring model and experimental data for blood. Flow characteristics and reattachment lengths for non-Newtonian fluids in the stenotic tubes are presented extensively. Also, the analysis is extended to predict the influences of diameter ratio, stenosis spacing, number of stenosis and Reynolds number on the flow characteristics in the multiple stenotic tubes.

This article describes the numerical investigation of turbulent blood flow in the stenosed artery bifurcation under periodic acceleration of the human body. Numerical analyses for turbulent blood flow were performed with different magnitude of periodic accelerations using a modified turbulence model which was considering drag reduction of non-Newtonian fluid. The blood was considered to be a non-Newtonian fluid which was based on the power-law viscosity. In order to validate the modified $k-{\varepsilon}$ model, numerical simulations were compared with the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and the Malin's low Reynolds number turbulence model for power-law fluid. As results, the modified $k-{\varepsilon}$ model represents intermediate characteristics between laminar and standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model, and the modified $k-{\varepsilon}$ model showed good agreements with Malin's verified power law model. Moreover, the computing time and computer resource of the modified $k-{\varepsilon}$ model were reduced about one third than low Reynolds number model including Malin's model.

Gas submerged jet is an outstanding thermohydraulic phenomenon in pool scrubbing of fission products during a severe nuclear accident. Experiments were performed on the hydraulic characteristics in the ranges of air mass flux 0.1-1400 kg/m²s and nozzle diameter 10-80 mm. The results showed that the dependence of inlet pressure on the mass flux follows a power law in subsonic jets and a linear law in sonic jets. The effect of nozzle submerged depth was negligible. The isolated bubbling regime, continuous bubbling regime, transition regime, and jetting regime were observed in turn, as the mass flux increased. In the bubbling regime and jetting regime, the air volume fraction distribution was approximately symmetric in space. Themelis model could capture the jet trajectory well. In the transition regime, the air volume fraction distribution loses symmetry due to the bifurcated secondary plume. The Li correlation and Themelis model showed sufficient accuracy for the prediction of jet penetration length.

층류 열전달에서 작은 Reynolds number에서의 원통내의 흐름에대한 Power law 유 체의 해법이 사용될 수가 없는 것을 낮은 전단률(Shear Rate)에서 Power Law 법칙이 적용 되지 않기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이문제를 새로운 구성방정식을 이용하여 높은 전단률에 서는 Power Law 법칙이 낮은 전단률에서는 Newtonian 법칙이 그 중간에서는 천이과정을 모두 포함하는 전범위의 전단률에 대해 해결하였다. 이러한 구성방정식의 기본개졈은 실험 결과와도 잘 일치하였따. 이 구성방정식을 이용하여 Graetz 문제를 해결하였고 경계조건은 일정온도와 일정열속이다. 이용하기 쉬운 전단률변수는 적용범위가 Newtonian인지 Power law 인지 아니면 중간 천이과정인지를 나타내준다.
