TEXT(Power-Law Fluid_2D FD Duct Flow
TITLE
The case considered is three-dimensional fully-developed,
laminar flow of an incompressible power-law fluid in a
rectangular duct of aspect ratio alfa=0.5, where alfa=
height/width. The calculations are performed for a power-law
Reynolds number Re of 100 and a fluid with a power-law index
of 0.5. The solution exploits symmetry by performing the
calculation over one quadrant of the duct cross section only.
The flow Reynolds number is based on the hydraulic diameter
of the duct.
Data on the friction factor ( and hence pressure drop ) has
been reported in 'Non-Newtonian Fluid Laminar Flow and Forced
Convection Heat Transfer in Rectangular Ducts', S.X.Gao and
J.P.Hartnett, Int.Comm. Heat Mass Transfer, Vol.19, p673, (1992).
The data on the friction factor f is correlated by
f*Re = 2.**(3*n+1)*(B+A/n)**n
where n is the power-law index and A and B are constants which
depend on the duct aspect ratio alfa. For the duct aspect ratio
considered here A=0.244 and B=0.7276.
For a Reynolds number of 100 and a power-law index of 0.5, the
data indicates that f=0.0624 so that dp/dz=0.0935. The PHOENICS
predictions yield values of f=0.061 and dp/dz=0.091, which are
in very good agreement with the experimental values.
