Improving slurry viscosity and flow curve measurements
Article Abstract:
A method to determine both accurate and relevant flow curves, and how parameters describing the flow curve might be arrived at for use with correlations that suit specific engineering applications are discussed. The flow properties of slurries are difficult to measure as they can contain 'non-settling' particles or particles with different sizes.

Making accurate slurry flow curve measurements
Article Abstract:
The flow curve measurement, modeling and interpretation for tube or coaxial cylinder geometries are discussed. However, it is observed that laboratory flow-curve measurements is time-consuming and often need to be both accurate and relevant for process design applications.

Developments in slurry pipeline technologies
Article Abstract:
A study of pipeline flow of non-settling slurries examines both Newtonian and non-Newtonian models. Also described are new developments including measurement of viscosity, zeta potential, and prevention of solids deposition in pipes.
