Abstract

New extensive pressure drop-flow rate data are reported for the creeping flow of well characterised viscoelastic polymer solutions through packed beds of mixed size spheres and of spheres and cylinders. It is established that the effective mean surface diameter is adequate in correlating the pressure loss data in flow through packed beds of mixed size and shape. A distinct correlation exists between the excess pressure loss observed with viscoelastic fluids and the Weissenberg number.
