Pressure Drop and Determination of Characterizing Coefficients for Pseudoplastic Fluid Laminar Flow in Concentric Annuli

The flow through annuli is encountered in drilling operation, in which drilling mud flows between the borehole wall and the drilling pipe. Some drilling muds, depending on their prepared materials, exhibit nonNewtonian characteristics and in many cases may be regarded as pseudoplastic fluids. This s...
