Abstract:We have recently introduced a methodology to determine the average velocity and flow behavior index of laminar pipe flow of a power-law fluid using simple magnetic resonance (MR) techniques. In general, MR techniques are noninvasive and capable of working on optically opaque fluids. Knowledge of the average velocity and flow behavior index provides the information needed to reconstruct the flow velocity profile. However, as the flow velocity increases, the flow will begin to develop turbulence. For pipe flow o… Show more
