NJIT eTD::njit-etd1954-001::Quinn, Robert Gregory; Bauman, Irving::"Heat transfer characteristics of non-Newtonian suspensions"

This project was undertaken to collect additional information on the heat transfer coefficients of pseudo-plastic suspensions and to test the exponents of the equation of Salamone (12). Using the same equation as derived by Salamone by dimensional analysis, a better correlation of this data was obtained by changing some of the exponents to give the following equation:

LD/K_f=0.346(D_vp/M^`)^0.7(C_fM^`/K_f)^0.72(D_s/D)^0.15(C_s/C_f)^0.35(k_s/k_f)^0.08 (1)

The authors believe that a better correlation is possible and that additional data should be collected on a greater variety of solids in suspension over a large range of Reynolds Numbers.

Abstract:	This project was undertaken to collect additional information on the heat transfer coefficients of pseudo-plastic suspensions and to test the exponents of the equation of Salamone (12). Using the same equation as derived by Salamone by dimensional analysis, a better correlation of this data was obtained by changing some of the exponents to give the following equation: LD/K_f=0.346(D_vp/M^`)^0.7(C_fM^`/K_f)^0.72(D_s/D)^0.15(C_s/C_f)^0.35(k_s/k_f)^0.08 (1) The authors believe that a better correlation is possible and that additional data should be collected on a greater variety of solids in suspension over a large range of Reynolds Numbers.
