Hello everyone.
Does anyone know an analytical relationship for computing mixing Reynolds number for a power law fluid ?
I was able to find an approximation, or a modified Reynolds number but I would like to know whether the scientific community uses it in research and/ or industrial applications.
Mentioned Reynolds number is frequently used in industrial applications for agitation of non-Newtonian fluids and there are a number of scientific papers in chemical engineering journals related to shown Reynolds number.
Consult at text on mixing. The method uses the Otto Metzer constant for the particular agitator type. The constant converts rotational rate to an apparent shear rate, which is then used to estimate an apparent viscosity, which is used in the Reynolds number.
