Generalized non-Newtonian flow of ice slurry through bends

The present paper covers the flow of ice slurry made of the 10.6% ethanol solution through small-radius bends pipes. The study presents the results of experimental research on ice slurry flow resistance in 90. bends in laminar and turbulent flow ranges. The research has made it possible to derive a set of criterial relationships which determine the local resistance coefficients of ice slurry, which is a Bingham fluid and whose flow is treated as a generalized flow of a non-Newtonian fluid.
