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^{`</sup>)<sup>0.7</sup>(C<sub>f</sub>M<sup>`}/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.
