Abstract
Use of static mixers to process viscous non-Newtonian fluids is quite common. Wilkinson and Cliff (1977) have presented pressure drop data for aqueous glycerine solutions (Newtonian fluids) and aqueous 1% polyacrylamide solution showing viscoelastic behavior. They found no difference in friction factor for Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids. Many of the studies are restricted to Newtonian fluids and cover only one size of the static mixer. Therefore, this study is aimed at studying the pressure drop for flow of non-Newtonian inelastic and viscoelastic fluids for static mixer elements of different designs and different sizes.
