Solid-Liquid Flow — Lesson 4

This lesson covers the concept of two-phase flow and heat transfer, focusing on solid-liquid flow. It explains different regimes of solid liquid slurry flow and their corresponding conditions for occurrences. The lesson also discusses methodologies for calculating pressure drops inside a pipe carrying slurry flow, both in laminar and turbulent regimes. It introduces the 2-layer model and explains how to calculate the pressure drop for non-Newtonian slurry. The lesson also provides an understanding of how heterogeneous slurry can be tackled and its related pressure drop calculated.
