| dc.description.abstract | A novel experimental procedure to determine the behavior of foam flow in tubes is established. Using an approach developed by Metzner and Reed for nonNewtonian fluids, the friction factor-generalized Reynolds number correlation is examined with respect to foam in the laminar flow region. A semi-automated system to collect pressure drop-flow rate data for gas in liquid foams was constructed in which foam is created by a foam generator and the pressure drop resulting from the foam flow is measured. Data collected allow for the determination of material parameters. The corresponding friction factors and generalized Reynolds numbers are calculated and their relationship examined. Results indicate that the flow of foam follows the same f = 16/NRe,gen correlation as Newtonian fluids, provided the generalized Reynolds number is used. This correlation allows for the determination of foam flow in any size tube under any condition. | en |
