Does anyone know the calculations for control valves in non-Newtonian fluids?
Thread Content
I recently reviewed relevant standards such as ISA-75.01 and GB/T 17213.2-2005; these are all applicable to Newtonian fluids. So, are there any standards that can be used for the calculation of non-Newtonian fluids?
Thank you! I want to create a selection software; I’m not sure how to calculate such liquids, even if it’s not a very precise formula. Because I’ve seen that most of the software used for selecting control valves is designed for Newtonian fluids; Fisher’s software includes a separate option for pulp, indicating that it can handle pulp calculations – probably using formulas developed by them own. But other non-Newtonian liquids were not mentioned; it’s unclear whether it’s because the common characteristics of non-Newtonian liquids are too poor to allow for the derivation of a general formula!
Does anyone have valve selection software? Could you share it?
