Hi,

 

I am referring to Crane Technical Paper No.410. Could the Darcy Equation be applied for non-Newtonian fluids as well? I.e. Drilling Mud, Cement....etc?

 

Thanks in advance

Sherif

Hi Sherif,

To support your work

 

another resource should be Chemical engineering fluid mechanics by Ron Darby 2nd edition

Thanks alot.

 

In slide 8, is the "f" factor representing Moody's or fanning?

 

I am trying to calculate the equivalent length for some elbows and nozzles. I believe in Crane's paper 410 it is all assuming newtonian fluids?

If you see a " 4f " term in a head equation, it's Fanning.  Moody's will be just " f ".
