1. Friction factor is dependent on
NRe and the relative roughness
of the pipe.
2. The value of fF is determined
empirically.
Moody Diagrams
Important notes:
1. Both fF and NRe are plotted in logarithmic
scales. Some Moody diagrams show fD
(Darcy friction factor). Make the
necessary conversions.
2. No curves are shown for the transition
region.
3. Lowest possible friction factor for a
given NRe in turbulent flow is shown by the
smooth pipe line.

Non-Newtonian Fluids
Why are these fluids nonNewtonian?
Non-Newtonian
behavior
is
frequently
associated with complex internal structure:
The fluid may have large
molecules (like a polymer), or
complex
Non-Newtonian Fluids
Why are these fluids nonNewtonian?
Fluid systems may be non-ideal in two ways:
1. The viscosity may depend on shear rate
2. The viscosity may depend on time
Some (many) may have both
Classification
Time-Independent Fluids
The relation between shearing stress and
rate is unique but non-linear
The viscosity of the fluid at a given
temperature depends on the rate of
shearing

stress (0) and then becomes constant

2. Power law fluids
Classification
Time-Independent Fluids
2. Power law fluids
Pseudoplastic fluids : decreases as
the shear rate increases (shear rate
thinning)
Ex. polymer melts
paper pulp in water
clay solutions
molasses
whipped cream
Classification
Time-Independent Fluids
2. Power law fluids
Dilatant fluids : decreases as the
shear rate
increases (shear rate
thickening)
Ex. Quicksand
Starch suspension
Wet sand
Classification
Time-Dependent Fluids
Shear rate depends on the shearing time or
on the previous shear rate history
Classification
Time-Dependent Fluids
1. Thixotropic fluids
: shear stress decreases with time at
constant shear rate; alternatively, the
apparent viscosity decreases with time
: the change is reversible; the fluid
rebuilds itself once shearing is removed
Ex. gelatin
shortening
cream
Classification
Time-Dependent Fluids
2. Rheopectic fluids
: shear stress increases with time at
constant shear rate; the apparent
viscosity increases with time
: the change is reversible
Ex. highly concentrated starch solutions
gravy
beating and thickening of egg whites
inks
Classification
Viscoelastic Fluids
The shear stress is determined by the
shear strain and the rate of shear strain
when applied stress is removed, the
material does not instantly vanish since
the internal structure of the material can
sustain the stress for some time
(relaxation time)
due to the internal stress, the fluid will
deform on its own, even when external
stresses are removed
