Dilatant Fluids Parameters
Hi guys, we are looking for some examples of dilatant fluids, for an application we're thinking to design (something similar to the Viscous coupling system). In detail, we would like to know some typical flow consistency index (K) and flow behaviour index (n), according to the power law. I've...- Matt17

Displacement of a pipeline
Dear all, my guess is to displace sea water from a long pipeline (kilometers) with fresh water without any physical separation. To do this I've to size an adequate pumping spread in order to assure a minimum velocity in order to avoid stratification along the pipeline. Any idea to roughly...- Matt17
