Flow Rate of Viscous Fluids
Flow Rate of Viscous Fluids
(OP)
Being new to working with highly viscous fluids, like ISO 680 lube oil, I don't have any experience doing flow and loss calculations with viscous fluids. Can anybody recommend a good reference for me to use for general applications? Right now I'm trying to estimate the flow rate of a freely flowing viscous fluid down an inclined plane. Thanks!





RE: Flow Rate of Viscous Fluids
A practical reference is Crane Technical Paper 410. Notice I did not say it was a good practical reference. It is an excellent practical reference for turbulent flow/low viscosity fluids, but it covers only the basics for viscous flow.
I'm not sure there is a single good practical reference for laminar flow/high viscosity.
Good luck,
