Hi!

We are going to install a number of pipelines in my facility which will handle a non-newtonian fluid, with lowering viscosity at increasing shear rates.

I am reviewing pressure drop calculations performed in the system, and I am not sure about the pressure drop calculation method that has been used. I would appreciate it if someone could give me a literature reference where I can find the formulas to calculate pressure drop over a pipeline for non-newtonian fluids.

I am very interested as well in seeing a comparison of the pressure drop over a pipeline for newtonian and non-newtonian fluids.

I have found a spreadsheet in the forum for this purpose, but it is locked and it gives me some trouble in the new excel version, and therefore I cannot use it either.

Any help is appreciated!
