Pressure Drop of Power-Law Fluid in Laminar FlowA power-law fluid having a density of 1041 kg/m3 is flowing through 14.9 m of a tubing with an inside diameter of 0.0524 m at an average velocity of 0.0728 m/s. The rheological or flow properties of the fluid are K′ = 15.23N·sn′/m2 (0.318 lbf·sn′/ft2) and n′ = 0.40. Calculate the pressure drop and friction loss using Eq. (9.1-10) for laminar flow.
